In this series, 8 patients underwent a spleen preservation procedure with radiofrequency. Four of the partial splenectomy procedures were performed in elective situations, whereas the other 4 cases were performed to control traumatic bleeding in emergency situations. A harrow-like radiofrequency probe with 6 needles was applied to the spleen, and the division of the splenic parenchyma was completed using a surgical scalpel through the midline of the ablated tissue. This safe, fast, and simple technique allows for preservation of splenic function with minimum blood loss.en10.1097/SLE.0b013e31822f3889info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessradiofrequencypartial splenectomytraumatumorArticle215361358220022742-s2.0-80054956359Q2WOS:000296562600034Q3
