Splenectomy is known to increase the risk of Overwhelming Postsplenectomy Infection (OPSI). Autotransplantation is one of the possibilities to preserve splenic functions. The authors performed spleen autotransplantations in two cases after the splenectomy of cystigerous spleens. Ten pieces from the intact spleens each sized 10 x 20 x 2 mm were implanted in between the plates of the great omentum according to Furka's spleen apron method. The function of the reimplanted splenic tissue was demonstrated by scintigraphic investigations.
