| Description | PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on the survival and weight of rats submitted to subtotal splenectomy and on the viability and growth of the inferior pole. METHODS: Forty Wistar rats underwent subtotal splenectomy with preservation of the inferior pole and distributed into two groups: Group A (n=20) - not treated with hyperbaric oxygen, Group B (n=20) - treated with hyperbaric oxygen. These groups were divided into two subgroups of 10 animals each, according to the time of euthanasia, 15th and 45th days. The survival and weight of the animals were recorded. The inferior pole was measured, weighed and morphologically analyzed. RESULTS: All animals survived. The weight of the animals increased in all subgroups, but decreased on the 10th day in the subgroups treated with hyperbaric oxygen (p |
