title: [Assessment following total or partial splenic loss].
abstract: Expert opinion after splenectomy: In splenectomized patients after trauma the risk of infection is up to 60 times increased. The incidence of sepsis amounts to 1.05, mortality to 0.5%. Spleen-preserving surgery guarantees an immunocompetence only if at least 30% of the spleen is preserved. The professional performance of people having undergone splenectomy is restricted by 30% during the first year ("MdE" of 30%), later by 10% if additional complications occur.
