Abstract

The immune and hematopoietic systems in the human body depend on the spleen. The understanding of anatomical and morphological variations of the spleen and its arterial vascular segments (AVS) is crucial for performing whole or partial splenectomy in the treatment of splenomegaly and splenic rupture.
