  • Title: Selective hemisplenectomy for Hodgkin's disease.
    Author: Holschneider AM, Löhrs U, Haas R, Dickerhoff R, Gollmitzer W.
    Journal: Prog Pediatr Surg; 1985; 18():162-8. PubMed ID: 3927423.
    Abstract:
    Schellong's recommendation to do a selective splenectomy in Hodgkin's disease supported by our retrospective histological findings in biopsies of lymph nodes and spleens of 25 patients. In addition, we recommend a hemisplenectomy instead of a splenectomy in cases of involvement of the lymph nodes at the pancreatic tail and at the hilus of the spleen. Hemisplenectomy, which is not a more difficult or more time-consuming operation, provides more security in judging an invasion of the spleen.
