The article presents results of using the extracorporal connection with the donor (porcine) spleen (ECCDS) for the treatment of 14 patients with critical mechanical traumas and their complications. An experience with 30 ECCDS-s has shown them to possess a pronounced detoxicating and immunomodulatory effect followed by a positive clinical result. In 6 cases of ECCDS a temporary chill was noted. There were no other complications.
