Overview
Hippocrates made the first description of the gross anatomy of the spleen in 421 BC. In 1899, Chauffard described that increased splenic activity is linked to hemolysis, and in 1910, Sutherland and Brughard performed the first therapeutic splenectomy in a patient with hereditary spherocytosis. In 1919, Morris and Bullock provided initial experimental evidence of the protective role of the spleen against infections.
