| Core Tip |
Hypersplenism, a frequent complication of cirrhosis, often requires splenectomy to alleviate conditions like thrombocytopenia and anemia. However, splenectomy may alter immune status and hemodynamics, potentially influencing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development. Post-splenectomy risks, including infections and thrombosis, further complicate outcomes. Current evidence on the splenectomy-HCC relationship remains inconclusive, necessitating further research into pathophysiology and epidemiology. This review examines immune, hemodynamic, and gut microbiota changes post-splenectomy to guide individualized treatment strategies for cirrhotic patients. |
