Abstract
Splenectomy being one commonly performed surgeries throughout the world is well known to have many complications. Heterogeneity exists in presentation, some being hematological or chest infections. Due to advancement of medical science, complications have reduced. Yet still some exist despite precautions and vaguely recorded in literature. We aim to study the incidence of complications of splenectomy in elective & emergency settings during perioperative period to demonstrate the present status and discuss the future changes in preventing or treating complications.
