Hematologic neoplasia, emergency surgery, and leukocytosis were the independent predictors of mortality in patients, who were operated on for non-traumatic spleen diseases.

Immunological research can provide new therapeutic opportunities that may impact positively on patients by minimizing morbidity and mortality.
