Prospect for studying the vital anatomy and topography of the spleen in humans depending on gender based on computer tomography data

The aim of the work is to determine new data on the intravital anatomy of the spleen using computed tomography in patients depending on gender. The computed tomographic anatomy and topography of the spleen were studied based on the analysis of computed tomograms in 110 patients. The morphometric parameters of the spleen were assessed: thickness, diameter, craniocaudal length, splenic index, volume. The shortest distances from the spleen to the midline of the body were determined. It was found that the morphometric parameters of the spleen in men prevailed, compared with similar parameters in women, as well as the average value of the distance from the spleen to the midline of the body. The new data obtained on the intravital anatomy and topography of the spleen can be useful for choosing the optimal approach in operations on the spleen.
