Analysis of Surgical Treatment of Splenomegaly Caused by Schstomiasis at Late-stage

Objective:To discuss surgical treatment and efficacy of splenomegaly caused by schstomiasis at late-stage.Methods:Clinical data of 31 patients with splenomegaly caused by schstomiasis at late-stage were retrospectively analysed.All of them were treated by surgery.Results:Seven patients received splenectomy alone and 24 patients received peri-cardiac devascularization besides splenectomy.The hypersplenism disappeared and the chances of upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage were reduced predominantly,the labor work had recovered variably after surgery.Conclusion:Splenectomy alone or with peri-cardiac devascularization could control the hypersplenism symptoms and decrease the upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage significantly,and be beneficial to recover labor work considerably.
