Effectiveness of partial splenectomy in hereditary spherocytosis

Current Opinion in Hematology, 1997
Total splenectomy eliminates the splenic destruction of erythrocytes with impaired deformability. However, concern has increased over the lifelong risk of overwhelming postsplenectomy infections in splenectomized patients, a risk reduced but not totally suppressed by appropriate prophylaxis.

Partial Splenectomy in the Treatment of Thalassaemia Major

European Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1985
From 1981-1982 we performed partial splenectomy in 6 children with beta-thalassaemia major as an alternative to splenectomy to reduce transfusion and to preserve some splenic immune function. In two of our young patients with transfusion requirements of 150 ml/kg/year, where more than 2/3 of the spleen was removed, the number of transfusions was ...

Partial splenectomy for nonparasitic splenic cysts

The American Journal of Surgery, 1980
Four cases of partial splenectomy for large, nonparasitic splenic cysts are described. In all four patients it was possible to successfully preserve most of the splenic parenchyma. With the increasing realization of the importance of splenic function, the feasibility of this operative approach to splenic cysts is proposed.

Splenectomy for Children With Thalassemia

Journal of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology, 2016
Splenomegaly and hypersplenism are common complications among children with thalassemia necessitating splenectomy. Thirty-six children (27 β-thalassemia major, 3 Hb H disease, and 6 thalassemia intermediate) had total splenectomy (11 laparoscopic and 13 open splenectomy) or partial splenectomy (12 patients).

Laparoscopic partial splenectomy: a technical tip

Surgical Endoscopy, 2014
Increased awareness of asplenia-related life-threatening complications has led to development of parenchyma sparing splenic resections. The aim of the study was to report a new technique of laparoscopic partial splenectomy, which helps minimize perioperative bleeding risks.From November 2004 to October 2012, 12 patients underwent partial laparoscopic ...

Partial Splenectomy in Children with Gaucher's Disease

Pediatrics, 1985
Because of hypersplenism and mechanical problems, partial splenectomy was performed in four children with Gaucher's disease. Subsequently, one of the patients underwent a total splenectomy due to bleeding from the remnant of the spleen. At the follow-up of the other three patients, an isotope scan showed that the remaining spleen was functioning well.

The Role of Partial Splenectomy in Children with Thalassemia

European Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1998
Partial splenectomy was performed on 12 patients with thalassemia (9 beta-thalassemia major and 3 Hb H disease) to reduce blood transfusion requirements. The indication for partial splenectomy was the presence of splenomegaly and increased blood transfusion requirements (i.e. Hb drop > 0.5 g per week).

Experimental partial splenectomy.

Acta chirurgica Hungarica, 1984
Partial splenectomy was performed on 25 dogs, removing the lower third of the spleen by a transverse incision. Stronger bleeding was ligated while parenchymatous haemorrhage was covered with Gelaspon plus Topostasin or Surgicel. The substances were sutured to the spleen with Dexon suture.

Ultrasonic partial splenectomy.

Surgery, 1982
We describe use of the ultrasonic scalpel to perform three partial splenectomies expeditiously, with control, and with excellent hemostasis. This new powered instrument has a tip that vibrates at ultrasonic frequencies and cuts through mesenchymal tissue, sparing blood vessels.
