Abstract

Three operative techniques for splenectomy in donkeys were tried. The operation sites were, after resection of either the last ribe, or the 17th rib, and in the flank region.
The operations were performed in the standing position. All the operations were successfuly p < /strong>erformed under the effect of Combelen as a pre medication and Tutocain local infiltration anaesthesia.
The easiest way for sp < /strong>lenectomy in donkeys was after resection of the 17th rib as it gave enough space for ligating the splenic vessels.
