background: splenic cysts are rare in all age groups and there are a few reports in the world literature. primary cysts occur most frequently in children and young adults, comprising around 25% of all nonparasitic splenic cysts. various techniques are suggested for the treatment of splenic cysts. in this case report, a huge epithelial splenic cyst in a 17-year-old female is presented and differ...

Hamartoma is a rare splenic benign tumor usually accidentally detected as a radiologic finding. Preoperative diagnosis poses a challenge and thus surgery becomes necessary to confirm the clinical suspicion. Laparoscopic splenectomy has gained consensus as a standard surgical procedure particularly for autoimmune hematological diseases. This former experience has allowed this technique to be ext...

Spleen diseases are rare, being splenic abscesses, splenic cysts, benign tumors (hemangioma, lymphangioma and others), and malignant tumors (lymphomas, metastases and others)1. Primary benign tumors of the spleen are extremely rare and account for less than 0.007% of all tumors identified upon surgery and autopsy2. Splenic lymphangiomas (SL) are benign cystic tumors resulting from congenital ma...

Spleen-preservation has recently been emphasized in benign and borderline malignant pancreatic diseases requiring distal pancreatectomy. Reports to suggest that laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy is feasible and safe have been increasingly published. Robotic surgical system has been introduced and is expected to provide unique advantages in laparoscopic surgery. However, robot-assisted pancreat...

One of the current trends in modern surgery is study spleen injuries and diseases, particular, its traumatic ruptures which are a fairly common pathology, being most prevalent among all abdominal organs. The improvement hemostasis options choice tactics surgical treatment pathologies crucial. Few recent decades have been dominated by idea that splenectomy major option for damage diseases. Curre...

During their pregnancy Approximately 1 in 500 to 1 in 635 women will require non-obstetrical abdominal surgery. Acute appendicitis, cholecystitis, and intestinal obstruction are the most common non-obstetrical surgical emergencies complicating pregnancy. Other conditions that may require surgery during pregnancy include ovarian cysts, masses or torsion, symptomatic cholelithiasis, adrenal tumor...

Abstract Infectious endocarditis (IE) represents an inflammation of the heart endothelium usually as a result bacterial colonization after trauma. Splenic abscess is rare and dangerous extracardiac manifestation IE. An expert multidisciplinary collaboration necessary for diagnosis treatment strategy this high-risk challenging disease. Valvuloplasty splenectomy are mainstay radical offer excelle...

INTRODUCTION The management of splenic injuries has shifted from splenectomy to splenic preservation owing to the risk of overwhelming post-splenectomy infection (OPSI). This study aimed to identify the factors that determine splenectomy in patients with isolated splenic injuries, with a view to increasing the rate of splenic preservation. PATIENTS AND METHODS Files of 55 patients managed for...

INTRODUCTION Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease with an unknown etiology. The pulmonary interstitium is mainly involved, with noncaseating granulomas and lymphadenopathy. It is a multisystemic disease, and the differential diagnosis should include infectious, neoplastic, and autoimmune diseases to prevent inappropriate treatment and unnecessary surgery. Abdominal disease without evidence of...

Splenic involvement is not uncommon among patients with infective endocarditis (IE). These patients are susceptible to massive intra-abdominal haemorrhage resulting either from splenic rupture complicating endocarditis or from complication of major splenectomy. We report a patient with splenic haematoma complicating IE with progressive cardiac decompensation and valve destruction warranting ear...
