| Popis: | 182 splenectomies performed in two large hospitals during a 20-year period have been analysed. The frequency of splenectomies has risen, especially during the last 5-year period. “Surgical” indications are predominantly traumatic lesions of the spleen. The most common “medical” indications have been haemolytic anaemia and thrombocytopenia. No death has occurred ascribable to the splenectomy as such. It is emphasized that splenectomy in many instances should be regarded as one of several therapeutic possibilities and that it should not be saved as a “last” resort. |
