Morphological Evaluation of the Splenic Artery, Its Anatomical Variations and Irrigation Territory.

Background: Precise knowledge of the topographic features of the splenic artery and its branches in the hilum region is of practical interest due to the various interventions on the vessels of the spleen.

Materials And Methods: The anatomy of the spleen was studied by means of macroscopic dissection on 330 organ complexes, which were carefully documented and analyzed statistically.

Results: The analysis of the splenic artery trajectory led to identification of four types: straight (43.
