Fulminant sepsis following splenectomy remains a major problem. Even with the administration of pneumococcal vaccine and prophylactic antibiotics fatalities still occur. A better understanding of the complex immunological function of the spleen, its preservation as much as possible during surgery, potent vaccine and perhaps more effective antibiotics will, hopefully, help reduce mortality in some of these cases in future.
脾切除术后暴发性脓毒症仍然是一个主要问题。即使接种了肺炎球菌疫苗并使用了预防性抗生素，死亡情况仍有发生。更好地了解脾脏复杂的免疫功能、在手术中尽可能保留脾脏、有效的疫苗以及或许更有效的抗生素，有望在未来帮助降低其中一些病例的死亡率。
