Splenectomy*

It has been claimed that the classical or Minkowski-Chauffard type of chronic familial hemolytic anemia does not exist among Filipinos. This type is presented in this paper in a father and a daughter. Both recovered completely after splenectomy. Spherocytosis, increased fragility of the red cells and the typical histological findings in the spleen as the most important differential diagnostic features, are discussed. The differential diagnosis of the Stransky-Regala-type and malaria are likewise discussed. (Summary and Conclusions)

Emergency splenectomy is the therapy of choice after trying to prevent bleeding by other methods. Without result in immune thrombocytopenic for operative in patient to reduce mortality and morbidity rate. It is now generally agreed that splenectomy is not only a valid alternative to medical treatment but is associated with a significantly higher rate of permanent remission.
Splenectomy ; Emergencies

Spleen plays important functions in the body. There were many indications for splenectomy, including spleen traumas, splenorenal shunt, vascular accident due to the spleen, splenic cyst, splenomegaly compressing other organs, congenital hemolytic anemia, acquired immunohematological diseases, hypersplenism leading to the peripheral blood cell deficiency. The major risk after splenectomy was severe infection. The hypersplenism was improved after splenectomy.
Splenectomy ; Child

Some major conditions that related to indication of splenectomy are 1. Rupture; 2. Abscess; 3. Tumors and cysts; 4. Artery aneurysm; 5. Displacement of spleen; 6. Bone marrow failure; 7. Faconi’s anemia; 8. Diamond-Blackfan’s anemia; 9. Gaucher’s disease; 10. Hemolytic anemia; 11. Essential trombocytopenia hemorrhage. 12. Felty syndrome; 13. Essential myelodysplasia; 14. Hairy leucocyte disease; 15. Hodgkin disease. Indications included splenectomy for diagnosis and for treatment and splenectomy for cases of spleen enlargement with spleen hyperactivity syndrome.
Splenectomy ; Learning

Cystic disease of the spleen is a relatively rare disease. It is classified either as a true primary cyst or as a secondary pseudocyst. Most splenic cysts are pseudocysts, which have non-epithelial lining, and are caused by previous abdominal blunt trauma. Conversely, primary splenic cysts have epithelial lining and are subdivided into parasitic and non-parasitic cyst. Non-parasitic primary splenic cyst is considered congenital and comprises about 10% of all splenic cysts. Total or partial splenectomy is the treatment of choice, but parasitic infection must be excluded prior to an operation. In this present report, we described a symptomatic, large primary non-parasitic splenic cyst, which was surgically treated with partial splenectomy.
Rare Diseases ; Spleen ; Splenectomy

Primary splenic tumors are rare and mainly found incidentally on radiologic studies. Among them, sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation (SANT) of the spleen is a new entity defined as a benign pathologic lesion. Most SANTs have no clinical symptoms and are occasionally accompanied by other splenic diseases such as malignancies. So, the exact diagnosis of the nature of the splenic tumor is mandatory for further treatment. But, preoperative diagnosis is not easy since it is difficult to obtain the tissue from the spleen for pathological study. Recently, laparoscopic splenectomy has become the more standard procedure for the spleen for diagnosis and treatment. Here, we report a rare case of SANT diagnosed following laparoscopic splenectomy.
