Review of the Association between Splenectomy and Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension.
Annals of the American Thoracic Society, 2016Recent evidence suggests that there may be a link between splenectomy and the later development of pulmonary hypertension, in particular World Health Organization group IV pulmonary hypertension (chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension ...

, 1984 Since the specific therapy for the group of diseases that require splenectomy is often in a state of flux and since some of the conditions are complicated by problems of coagulation, it is important that the indications and timing for surgery be worked out in close cooperation with an experienced hematologist.

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1948
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 ...

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,
