Immune status was studied in patients who had undergone surgery for spleen injuries (splenectomy, autolientransplantation and organ-saving surgeries). It is demonstrated that splenectomy leads to immunosuppression in long-term postoperative period. For prevention of these complications the organ-saving surgeries or autolientransplantation in addition to splenectomy are recommended.
