[Thrombocytosis after splenectomy in children]
Abstract:
A comparative analysis of certain hematological indices was made in 50 children with traumatic injuries of the spleen. Splenectomy was fulfilled in 29 patients, organ-sparing treatment in 21 patients. There were no lethal outcomes. Five children during laparotomy were found to have an accessory spleen. In 7 (24.1%) patients there was thrombocytosis from 3-6 days after splenectomy, coming to its maximum in 10-12 days. After organ-sparing treatment and in children with an accessory spleen after splenectomy no thrombocytosis was observed in the postoperative period.

Structure and Function of Platelets
Platelets are continually replenished, circulating in the bloodstream for 9-12 days before being removed by phagocytes, primarily in the spleen. A microliter of circulating blood contains between 150,000 and 450,000 platelets, with...
