Zur Ätiologie der Wundheilungsstörung und vermehrten Infektanfälligkeit nach Splenektomie

Etiology of Altered Wound Healing and of Increased Susceptibility to Infections after Splenectomy

  • Chapter
Die Milz / The Spleen

Summary

A postoperative disturbance of wound healing was found in sixteen cases (10.7%) following splenectomy. It may be due to a diminution of IgM, since in 22 patients who underwent splenectomy either for traumatic rupture or for a cyst we found a significant decrease in IgM globulins. In addition lymphocytosis was found in 75% of the patients. When lymphocytosis does not appear following splenectomy one may expect a subsequent systemic or wound infection.

Wundinfekte und Wunddehiszenzen stellen eine gefährliche und im Einzelfall nicht vorauszusagende Komplikation nach aseptischen Operationen dar. Die Häufigkeit der Wunddehiszenzen schwankt zwischen 0,57 und 1,75%. Selbst bei frühzeitiger Erkennung und chirurgischer Versorgung liegt die Letalität zwischen 22,3 und 57,3%. Die Erfahrung lehrt außerdem, daß Patienten nach Milzexstirpation besonders zu lokalen Wundheilungsstörungen neigen.
