¹ All authors: Department of General Surgery, Chiba University Graduate School of Medicine, 1-8-1 Inohana, Chuo-ku, Chiba, 260-8670 Japan.

OBJECTIVE. Splenectomy is the standard surgical treatment for hereditary spherocytosis, but partial splenic embolization is another potential option. We retrospectively studied the therapeutic effects of partial splenic embolization as a treatment for hereditary spherocytosis.

CONCLUSION. Partial splenic embolization is a safe and effective alternative to splenectomy or partial splenectomy in the treatment of hereditary spherocytosis.
