Which of the following may be needed during an emergency splenectomy that may not be required during a routine splenectomy?

In an emergency splenectomy, there is often significant hemorrhaging or a need for rapid intervention due to trauma or acute medical conditions. The Sarot clamp is particularly useful in this context because it is designed specifically for controlling bleeding from the splenic artery and vein during the procedure. Its unique design allows for effective clamping and can provide greater control over vascular structures that may be compromised in an emergency setting.

In contrast, a routine splenectomy typically allows for a more controlled environment where surgeons can plan and execute the procedure with less urgency. Therefore, the precise application of a Sarot clamp may not be as critical compared to an emergency scenario. Items like CUSA, vascular sets, and ligating clip appliers have their roles, but they do not specifically address the acute challenges presented during an emergency splenectomy as effectively as the Sarot clamp does.
