Splenectomy or radiation and splenectomy for hypersplenism in lymphosarcoma
Journal of Surgical Oncology, 1976AbstractThis is a retrospective study of 14 patients with lymphosarcoma with hypersplenism. Eight patients received radiation to the spleen followed by splenectomy for recurrence of hypersplenism. Six patients underwent primary splenectomy for hypersplenism.Radiation decreases the size of the spleen but recurrence of hypersplenism is seen in an average

In the new millennium, indications for splenectomy have expanded. Proper patient selection based on an understanding of the biology of each individual's disease is essential for a favorable outcome. We review the most common diseases for which surgeons may be called on to perform splenectomy and while highlighting potential pitfalls and caveats.

Surgical Endoscopy and Other Interventional Techniques, 1992
Splenectomy has traditionally been done through a generous laparotomy incision, requiring complete mobilization of the spleen for removal. In selected cases, however, splenectomy may either be facilitated or performed entirely by laparoscopic means. Two patients with Hodgkin's disease in whom splenectomy was facilitated laparoscopically are described ...

Laparoscopic splenectomy can be taught and performed safely. It presents less significant morbidity than does open surgery, and efficacy in the control of hematologic disease is comparable while offering the proven benefits of the minimally invasive approach. Laparoscopic splenectomy for selected hematologic disorders should replace open splenectomy as

Surgical removal of the spleen, splenectomy, is a procedure that has significantly decreased in frequency as our understanding of the infectious complications of the asplenic state increased. The full spectrum and details of splenic function, however, have yet to be fully outlined.

The laparoscopic technique for splenectomy has become the preferred method for splenectomy at many institutions over the last 10 years. The advantages of laparoscopic splenectomy include a shortened postoperative hospitalization, improved cosmesis, and less analgesic requirements.

Summary The usual causes of tropical splenomegaly in West Africa are mentioned. Splenectomy as a means of relieving pain and discomfort, and improving general health in certain chronic cases, is discussed. Pronounced sickling of the red cells in two instances suggests a possible contributory role by this trait in splenic enlargement among negroes ...

The role of the spleen in antibody formation and its relationship to the immune status of the individual remains in question. Prior to 1952 it had been felt that there was no inherent danger in removing the spleen, either because of surgical necessity due to trauma or as a means of affecting a clinical cure in various hematologic diseases that are ...
