MS. F may suffer from conditions which are out of the proper control of RBC in the spleen such as anemia. Splenectomy:
- Reduced number of WBC increases the risk factor of infection.
- Reduced number of blood platelets causes the inability clot blood which leads to bleeding eternally as well as externally.
But in the absence of a spleen other organs such as the liver can compensate many functions of the spleen.
After splenectomy, her wound healing capacity became low (because the removal of dead blood cells is challenged), and as we learned, she suffers for DMII; it again increases the risk of wound healing capacity. She was a major risk if it was an open surgery due to DMII and atrial fibrillation.
