Changes in the counts of white blood cell and blood platelets after the operation. (A) The white blood cell count peaked on day 1 after the procedure, and subsequently gradually decreased over time, arriving at a stable level one month later. The white blood cell count still remained at the normal level 6 months after the operation. (B) The blood platelet count began to increase gradually after the treatment, and reached a peak level at 2 weeks after the operation; however, the platelet count did not increase significantly during the first week after the operation. *P>0.05 vs. the pre-operation.
