Objective  To summarize the effect of the splenectomy in patients with portal hypertension on the occurrence and recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods  The related literatures about the splenectomy in patients with hepatocirrhosis combined with portal hypertension or patients with hepatocellular carcinoma combined with portal hypertension in recent years were reviewed. Results  At present, most academics considered that, for patients with hepatocirrhosis combined with portal hypertension, splenectomy could reduce the occurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma. For patients with hepatocellular carcinoma combined with portal hypertension, splenectomy+hepatectomy didn’t increase the perioperative mortality, and it could reduce the recurrence rate of hepatocellular carcinoma. Conclusion  Splenectomy for patients with portal hypertension is safe, and it can inhibit the occurrence and progress of hepatocellular carcinoma, however, the specific mechanism remain needs further study.
