Interest in splenectomy is topical because of the need to develop protocols for the prevention of overwhelming systemic infections postsplenectomy. Partial splenectomy is possible in only a few patients undergoing splenectomy for trauma. In haematological disorders, total splenectomy is mandatory. All patients who have had a total splenectomy will require vaccination and antibiotic prophylaxis.

Life-threatening spontaneous splenic rupture in congenital afibrinogenemia: Two case reports and systematic literature review.

J Forensic Leg Med

January 2025

Department of Legal Medicine, Teaching Hospital of Taher Sfar, 5100, Mahdia, Tunisia; Faculty of Medicine of Monastir, University of Monastir, Tunisia.

Background: Spontaneous splenic rupture is a rare life-threatening finding with a challenging diagnosis which is largely ignored in the literature. Hematological disorders such as afibrinogenemia are reported to cause bleeding disorders mostly cerebral hemorrhage. Despite being a life-threatening condition, data about spontaneous splenic rupture in patients with Afibrinogenemia remain scarce.

BACKGROUND We previously reported that the Model for End-stage Liver Disease (MELD) score and donor age are risk factors for small-for-size syndrome in adult living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) involving small grafts. Since April 2021, we have performed splenectomy as a portal inflow modulation in LDLT using small grafts according to the presence of risk factors. In this study, we evaluated the validity of our splenectomy strategies for optimizing graft outcomes.

Application of Laparoscopic Partial Splenectomy with Total Blood Flow Occlusion in Benign Splenic Lesions.

J Vis Exp

December 2024

Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic-Spleen Surgery, Shunde Hospital of Southern Medical University, First People's Hospital of Shunde;

Laparoscopic partial splenectomy (LPS) is gradually becoming the preferred method for treating benign splenic lesions. However, due to the abundant blood supply and its soft, fragile tissue texture, especially when the lesion is located near the splenic hilum or is particularly large, performing partial splenectomy (PS) in clinical practice is extremely challenging. Therefore, we have been continuously exploring and optimizing hemorrhage control methods during PS, and we here propose a method to perform LPS with complete spleen blood flow occlusion.

Splenic cysts are rare medical conditions, and their incidence is dominated by parasitic types. Non-parasitic splenic cysts, whether true cysts (with a cellular lining of the cystic wall) or pseudocysts (without a cellular lining), are significantly rarer than parasitic ones. Their etiology is not fully established, with fetal remnant development, metaplasia, and mesothelial invagination being widely accepted possible mechanisms.
