C Correct. A splenectomy is often performed because eliminating the site of hemolysis can decrease the child's need for frequent transfusions. A bone marrow transplant or cord blood transplant will also decrease the child's need for frequent transfusions. The goals of both of these interventions is to introduce healthy stem cells into the marrow so normal RBCs and hemoglobin production will occur.
