    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Outcomes
    • Gastroenterology
    • Hematology

    Context:

    • Splenectomy is a surgical procedure involving the removal of the spleen.
    • Indications for splenectomy are diverse, including hypersplenism, hematologic disorders, and splenic trauma.
    • Understanding post-splenectomy complication rates is crucial for patient management.

    Purpose:

    • To analyze the incidence and types of complications following 200 splenectomies.
    • To identify common post-surgical issues and their frequencies.
    • To evaluate patient outcomes, including recovery and mortality rates.

    Summary:

    • A total of 200 splenectomies were reviewed for post-operative complications.
    • 34% of patients (68 out of 200) experienced 73 complications.
    • The most frequent complications included septic issues (22), fluid/coagulation disturbances (20), and pleuro-pulmonary problems (19).
    • Mortality was 4% (8 patients), with 30% (60 patients) recovering from complications.

    Impact:

    • Provides data on splenectomy complication rates for various indications.
    • Highlights the need for vigilant monitoring for specific post-operative complications.
    • Informs surgical decision-making and patient counseling regarding splenectomy risks.
