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 ...

QJM: An International Journal of Medicine, 1972
Splenectomy has been carried out for anaemia on 104 patients suffering from haematological disease. The mortality was 3 per cent. The indications for this operation are considered and the predictive value of estimations of splenic red cell destruction, splenic red cell pooling, and the plasma volume have been examined.

A case of primary myelosclerosis is described which showed a rise in the haemoglobin level after splenectomy. This improvement was maintained until the patient died three years later of intestinal haemorrhage from a gastric ulcer.

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.

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1980
To the Editor.— Juan F. Jaramillo, MD, and Leroy C. Barry, MD (243:1656, 1980), advocated repair for the traumatic spleen in agnogenic myeloid metaplasia because of the operative and some postoperative complications. However, they did not mention the real risk of grave and often fatal course of certain blood born infections, especially pneumococcemia,

Splenectomy for thrombocytopenia
World Journal of Surgery, 1985AbstractThe effects of splenectomy in 49 thrombocytopenic patients managed since 1979 were assessed and compared with our previous experience of 174 patients. Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) constitutes a common indication for splenectomy, which effects a cure in 86% of these patients.

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

In the last two decades, physicians have become more aware of the spleen's role in natural immunity. The spleen is composed of two distinct but interrelated compartments. Fixed phagocytes of the reticuloendothelial system (RES) reside in the red pulp while lymphoid tissue is found in the follicles and periarteriolar sheaths of the white pulp. These two
