Study of complication risks in adults without a spleen
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at what factors can predict complications in people who do not have a functioning spleen, and how often those complications happen over time. It may help clinicians better identify higher-risk patients and improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part

- Have asplenia (no working spleen) from a procedure or injury
- Your spleen problem must be from splenectomy, splenic artery embolization, or radiation
- You cannot have a genetic cause of missing spleen, such as sickle cell disease

This study tests whether a simple teaching program helps people who had their spleen removed understand their health needs better. It may help you take better care of yourself after surgery and get the right vaccinations.
This trial studies how your immune system responds to a pneumonia (pneumococcal) vaccine after a spleen injury. It may help doctors better predict and improve protection in people recovering from splenic trauma.
This study aims to create a questionnaire for patients who have had their spleen removed (splenectomy). The questionnaire will help doctors better understand and manage these patients' health needs.
This trial looks at what happens after surgery to remove the spleen in people who also have major cancer surgery through the belly. It may help reduce or better manage serious infections after this kind of operation.
This study collects the spleen and blood from people having surgery to remove their spleen. By studying these samples, researchers hope to learn more about how the spleen works and what happens when it doesn't function properly.
This study tests a keyhole surgery (laparoscopy) to remove an aneurysm from the splenic artery while saving your spleen. It may help people with larger, growing, or ruptured splenic artery aneurysms.
