Distribution of splenic artery lymph nodes and splenic hilar lymph nodes

Table 3 Distribution of No. 11p and 11d lymph nodes

	Case No.

Anterior nodes	14	52	20	8	21	52	27.8	1.46
Posterior nodes	2	6	2	1	5	6	3.7	0.19
No. 11d
No. of slices	38	24	29	22	27	33

The distribution of No. 11p and 11d lymph nodes (LNs) in each cadaver is shown. We also noted the number of LNs on the anterior and posterior sides, the number of vessels, and the number of microslides. No. 11p, No. 11p LNs; No. 11d, No. 11d LNs; No. of slices: Number of microslides; Avg. (LN/case): Mean number of LNs per case; Avg. (LN/slice): Mean number of LNs per microslide.
