How Effective And Safe Is Splenectomy?
i m been diagnosed with itp from jan 2011, started with tab omnacortil 40 mg bd, within one weak my platellets counts increase from 5000 to 10600. My doctor added tab azoron 75 mg bd from next weak and from there onward my platlet count started decresing. Now finally my doctor has adviced me for splenectomy. I m taking tab azoron from last 31 days, should i undergo splenectomy or wait for few more days? My last count was 9000.

Hi and welcome.For trombocytes disorder and idiopathic trombocytosis,splenectomy is efficient almost in all cases and this is only permanent solution. this is pretty safe procedure with minimal rates of complications and all you lol need is vaccination and antibiotics for 2 weeks after surgery.
