Background: Rhabdomyolysis is a potential threat after bariatric surgey. The severity ranges from asymptomatic elevations of serum muscle enzyme levels to life-threatening cases associated with muscle necrosis, compartment syndrome, acute renal failure and cardiac arrest.
Methods: We studied 98 consecutive obese patients who underwent primary uncomplicated bariatric surgery during a 1-year period.
Purpose: verify the cytological and histological aspects of the regeneration of fragments of autologous and heterotopic spleen implanted in peritoneal cavity and subcutaneous screen in Wistar albino rats.
Methods: forty four Wistar rats were assigned to one of two groups A (n=22) and B (n=22), which received their implants in subcutaneous screen and peritoneal cavity, respectively, under anesthesia. Those groups were redistributed in two other subgroups A1 (n=11) and B1 (n=11), which received one and four splenic fragments in the areas of study.
