Surgical and anaesthetic outcomes of paediatric splenectomies at a tertiary care institution in South India: a retrospective cohort.
Abstract
Splenectomies though well-established in the successful management of several resistant haemoglobinopathies, have not been studied in detail in the paediatric population to assess the outcomes. We conducted this review to primarily assess the surgical and anaesthetic outcomes of paediatric splenectomies and secondarily highlight factors predictive for a high-risk splenectomy.
