Abstract

Four dogs underwent two thirds partial splenectomy and the remaining spleens were followed up to 6 months by radioisotope studies and finally measured at the time of sacrifice. In this study we showed that the remaining spleens after partial splenectomy did not show any signs of regeneration.
