OBJECTIVE Splenectomy is often performed in patients with heamatalogical diseases or trauma who are at high risk of complications. Our aim is to perform an audit on splenectomy in order to determine the reasons for the operation, its complication and compliance with the recent recommendations for post-splenectomy patients at Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre. DESIGN It is a Descriptive study...
PURPOSE Small-for-size syndrome (SFSS) is a major problem in liver surgery, and splenectomy has been used to prevent SFSS. However, it is unknown whether splenectomy has the same effect on liver regeneration in both standard and marginal hepatectomy. The aim of this study is to see a difference in effect of splenectomy on liver regeneration according to the amount of liver resection. METHODS ...
Hereditary hemolytic anemias are a group of disorders including red cell membrane defects, red blood cells enzyme disorders, congenital dyserythropoietic anemias, thalassemia syndromes and haemoglobinopathies. As damaged red blood cells passing through the spleen red pulp are efficiently removed by splenic macrophages, splenectomy is one possible therapeutic approach to the management of severe...
OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to investigate the association between splenectomy and acute pancreatitis. METHODS We conducted a case-control study using the database of the Taiwan National Health Insurance Program. We included 7666 subjects aged 20-84 years with first-time acute pancreatitis during the period of 1998-2011 as cases and 30 664 randomly selected subjects without acute...
A case of overwhelming post-splenectomy infection is described. This occurred 10 years after splenectomy in an otherwise normal male adult. The infecting organism, ,3-haemolytic Streptococcus Group B, is usually of low pathogenicity, but in this case caused profound hypotension, jaundice and the shock lung syndrome. Overwhelming post-splenectomy infection with this organism has not previously b...
A rare case of splenic harmartoma in a 31 year old female is reported. She was admitted with splenomegaly, fever and chronic history of epistaxis. Routine hematological survey revealed pancytopenia and mild hypercellular marrow. Abdominal sonography showed a space-occupying lesion in the spleen which was suspected as malignant tumor. Splenectomy was performed and histologic findings were d...
Clinical manifestations of hereditary spherocytosis (HS) can be abrogated by splenectomy. However, concerns exist regarding exposure of patients to a lifelong risk for overwhelming infections and, to a lesser extent, to vascular complications after total splenectomy. In the search for alternative treatment modalities, we assessed, in a previous pilot study, the potential usefulness of subtotal ...
As with most reports of splenectomy for immune thrombocytopenia, the recent study claiming efficacy of splenectomy for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related thrombocytopenia is uncontrolled, and combines responses of more and less severely thrombocytopenic patients.' In addition, important information is omitted. What were the mean platelet count increases, partial versus complete response...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an acquired autoimmune disease characterized by platelet destruction. Glucocorticoids are the first-choice treatment, resulting in a complete (CR) or partial (PR) response in 70-80% of cases. In most cases, however, response is transient or glucocorticoid-dependent. For these and for selected patients with acute refractory ITP, ...
Asplenic patients have a lifelong risk of overwhelming post-splenectomy infection and have been reported to have low numbers of peripheral blood IgM memory B cells. The clinical value of quantitation of memory B cells as an indicator of splenic abnormality or risk of infection has been unclear. To assess changes in B cell sub-populations after splenectomy we studied patients recruited to a sple...
