Teaching program after spleen removal
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your spleen was removed at the Fondazione Policlinico Gemelli hospital (not at another hospital).

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 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 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 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.
This study looks at whether a type of keyhole spleen surgery plus cutting a large vein can improve immune function in people with cirrhosis. It may help reduce immune problems that can happen after complications like bleeding from varices (enlarged veins in the esophagus/stomach).
This study looks at whether removing the spleen using keyhole surgery can improve “liver reserve function” in people with cirrhosis. It may be considered for patients who have an enlarged spleen and very low platelets, but it also has several safety exclusions.
