RESULTS
The post-operative colour-Doppler ultrasound control underlined the patency of the splenic artery and the normal aspect of the spleen in both cases (100%). Mobilization and the resumption of alimentation began in the first post-operative day. In all cases the post-operative pain was controlled with mild analgesic. The average hospitalization time was 5 days without complications. The follow-up was performed by colour-Doppler ultrasound 3, 6 and 12 months after the procedure and subsequently once a year; the good result was confirmed in 2/2 cases (100%).
