Figure 8 Additional surgical proceduresThe spleen was caught in the containment bag (A). A transverse skin incision was made cranially at the pubic bone, and the mouth of the containment bag was introduced extraperitoneally through the abdominal wall. The containment bag was opened, and the stump of the splenic vein (SV) was cut within the bag (B). Blood in the resected spleen was then removed to further shrink the spleen, and an intraperitoneal drain was placed through the port incision (C).
