    Journal: Vestn Khir Im I I Grek; 2008; 167(4):53-5. PubMed ID: 18942438.
    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.
