Surgical Endoscopy, 1994
Laparoscopic splenectomy was attempted in 16 patients and was performed successfully in 13 (81%) patients with the diagnosis of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), AIDS-related thrombocytopenia, Hodgkin's disease, or lymphoma. The operative time averaged 157 min, and autologous transfusion was required in four patients.

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 ...

SUMMARY Splenectomy was successfully performed on 2 aged horses to facilitate experimental studies of Babesia equi infection. Resection of part of the 17th rib provided the most acceptable approach and avoided many complications encountered on removing part of the 16th rib.

Surgical removal of the spleen is a well established procedure which is indicated for various hematologic disorders. Patients who are poor surgical risks may be considered for nonsurgical "splenectomy* using an embolization technique. This new technique should only be performed in patients who represent high surgical risk. The possible effectiveness of

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1977
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

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,
