RESUMO

During a partial splenectomy, the resultant bleeding of the remaining spleen is difficult to control; some techniques have been described to achieve complete hemostasis. The omentum has been traditionally used to promote hemostasis on raw surfaces of solid viscus, particularly during the repair of liver injuries. We present here a technique to fix the omentum to the spleen after partial resections; emphasis is made to perform it in an atraumatic way to avoid additional damage to the splenic capsule.
