The variant anatomy of the splenic artery according to computer modeling

The branching of the splenic artery, as well as the place of its separation, is due to the development of the spleen itself, as well as close topographical connections and functional load of neighboring organs (liver, stomach, pancreas). The aim of the study was to determine the variant diversion of the splenic artery from the celiac trunk in patients with various pathologies of the upper abdominal organs by means of medical imaging using computer simulation. The anatomical study is based on an analysis of the results of 42 studies using the method of multi-spiral computed tomography with the introduction of a contrast agent. The scope of surgical intervention is determined by the nature of the pathological process and depends on the complexity of the vascular-organ relationships, which affects the timing of its conduct and outcome. Fundamental morphological studies of branches of the abdominal aorta based on the method of visualization «Anatomy in silico» are important for abdominal and vascular surgery. The database for the 3D atlas used in the educational process and the virtual surgical clinic, organized on the basis of the Department of operative surgery and clinical anatomy and technology innovation Samara state medical university.
