[Partial conservation of the splenic parenchyma in the prevention of hyposplenism after splenectomy. A note on modifications of blood platelet number from the 40th day until normalization (experimental research)].

The authors report the modifications of platelet rate in the blood in a succession of total and partial splenectomies (25%, 50%, 75%) from the 40th day after operation till normalization. The values of platelet rate got back to standard in the 50th day in the animals subjected to 25% splenectomy, and in the 60th, 70th and 80th day from operation in the rats with 50%, 75% and 100% splenectomy. The data remarked suggest the period of thrombocytosis is in direct relation with the entity of plastrinosis, whereas the modalities of decrease are similar in all groups of animals.
