Thirty patients underwent simultaneous hepatic surgery and splenectomy. Factors preventing platelet count recovery above 50 \u00d7 10<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>\/\u03bcL were identified.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The median patient age was 64 years. Eleven, 78, and 55 patients had hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or another etiology, respectively; 59, 69, and 16 had Child\u2013Pugh classes A, B, and C, respectively. The median spleen volume was 432 mL, and a median of 10 blood units were transfused per patient. The median platelet count rose significantly (from 41.5 \u00d7 10<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>\/\u03bcL to 81.0 \u00d7 10<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>\/\u03bcL) after lusutrombopag administration but not after blood transfusion before invasive procedures. However, maximum platelet counts in patients who underwent splenectomy before platelet transfusion were markedly improved over those who did not. Increasing platelet counts above 50 \u00d7 10<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>\/\u03bcL required baseline platelets &gt; 30 \u00d7 10<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>\/\u03bcL and lusutrombopag administration for all patients. Platelet count recovery was dependent on a spleen volume of &lt; 300 mL and baseline platelets of &gt; 40 \u00d7 10<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>\/\u03bcL in patients who underwent platelet transfusions, while a baseline platelet count of &gt; 30 \u00d7 10<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>\/\u03bcL was required for patients administered with
