High-Yield Explanation
Immediately after ligating splenic vein * Patients with extremely low platelet counts (<10,000/mm3) should have platelets available for surgery, but should not receive them preoperatively. * This is because the transfused platelets will get sequestered in the spleen and are lost with splenectomy. * Once the splenic pedicle is ligated, platelets are given to those who continue to bleed.
