Özet
Objective: Venous thromboembolism is one of the significant complications after elective and emergency splenectomy. Up to 35% of portal and splenic venous thromboembolism has been reported in the first two months after splenectomy for hematologic malignancy. Our objectives were to compare emergency and elective splenectomy and their complications, and to analyze the risks on the development of portal vein thrombosis (PVT). Material and Method: A total of 78 splenectomy cases performed between 2017-2023 and that had complete medical records were included in this study. Of these cases, 39 were emergency and 39 were elective procedures. The two groups were compared retrospectively for risks of PVT. Result: We found a significant relationship between the development of postoperative complications and the risk of PVT (p=0.004). The risk of developing PVT in emergency cases in the post-operative 2 weeks was significantly higher than elective cases (p=0.048). Shorter operation times, larger spleen sizes, lower platelet counts and malignancy in pathology results were found to be significantly in favor of elective cases (p=0.007, p=0.004, p<0.001, p=0.001, respectively). In emergency cases, the need for RBC transfusion and complications were more frequent (p<0.001, p=0.021). Conclusion: High-risk patients should be evaluated for prophylactic anticoagulation with low-molecular-weight heparin in the postoperative period and after discharge. Anticoagulation should be considered for emergency splenectomy, factoring in cost-benefit, and a low suspicion for venous thromboembolism should be maintained with timely investigation. In this sense, our study supports the existing data with its current results. © 2023 The Author(s).
