title: [Splenectomy].
abstract: The authors ANALYZE the problem of splenectomy from the historical point of view and also the problem of splenectomy indication. Two different periods separated by a short time interval are compared. Recently the indications for splenectomy have changed because of introduction of new drugs in hematologic treatment. The number of "traumatological" splenectomy remains constant. (Tab. 2, Ref. 18.)
