Splenic vein as an autologous graft in traumatic SMV injuries: a missed valuable alternative
Traumatic superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and vein (SMV) injuries are rare but often lethal. The ideal management options of traumatic SMV injury are still controversial. Management options include venous repair and ligation. Splenic vein turndown procedure (SVTP) is a rare procedure that has been described in only six cases in the literature. Here, we reviewed the literature on the usage of the splenic vein turndown procedure (SVTP) as an alternative option in patients with traumatic SMV injury.
