logical origin
5 Malignancies: Lymphomas vs. leuke-
mias vs. metastases
5 Splenic trauma: Mostly blunt abdomi-
nal trauma; conservative vs. surgical
approach.

tion (possible pre- or postoperatively)
Clinical Examination

ing, hematuria, cerebral hemorrhage.
Diagnosis

Therapy
5 Depending on the severity of thrombocy-
topenia
Strategy
5 Platelets >50,000/mm3 + asymptomatic:
monitoring
5 30,000>Platelets >50,000/mm3+asymp-
tomatic
– Monitoring without therapy
– Glucocorticoids: prednisone (1 mg/kg
BW/day)
5 Platelets >20,000/mm3 + few symptoms:
Glucocorticoids (see above)
5 Platelets <20,000/mm3 + bleeding: Inpa-
tient treatment
– Platelet transfusion only if there is seri-
ous bleeding.
– I. v. immunoglobulins in case of bleed-
ing and preoperatively (1g/kg BW/day
for 2days)
Splenectomy
5 Indications:
– Refractory severe ITP
– Patients requiring very high or toxic
doses of glucocorticoids
– Thrombocytopenia recurrence
– Incomplete response after drug therapy
– Pregnant women after drug therapy
with a risk of bleeding
5 Modality:
– Open splenectomy
– Laparoscopic splenectomy (see below)
5 Result: Immediate response (within
10days postoperatively)=71–95%
Surgical Procedure
Laparoscopic Splenectomy
5 Preoperative skin marking, pressure-
free right lateral positioning, slight
angulation of the operation table to
increase the distance between the costal
arch and the spina iliaca
5 Inferior dissection of the spleen, possi-
ble partial mobilization of the left
colonic exure
5 Transection of the splenogastric ligament
and the gastricae-breves vessels (ligasure)
5 Visualization of the splenic hilus and
vessels
5 Minimal skeletonization of the splenic
artery and clipping by means of laparoscopic clips/vascular clips + transection
5 Initial clipping of the artery: reduction
of the spleen volume
5 Dissection of the lateral and retroperi-
toneal splenic ligaments
5 Identication of the pancreas tail and
mobilization of the pancreas without
injury

5 Visualization of the splenic vein, skele-
tonization, clipping by means of laparoscopic clips/vascular clips and
transection
5 Transection the splenodiaphragmatic
ligament
5 Extraction of the spleen using of a lap-
aroscopic extraction bag
5 Irrigation and closure, drainage if nec-
essary
Hereditary Spherocytosis
Denition
5 Hereditary autosomal dominant disease
5 Genetic defect: Alteration of the proteins
of the ankyrin complex (= erythrocyte
cytoskeleton protein) (e.g. ankyrin, α- and
β-spectrin protein)
Mechanism
5 Ankyrin/spectrin alteration/de-
cit = erythrocyte cell membrane decit = erythrocytes smaller, rounder,
non-deformable
5 Consequence=increased osmotic fragility
5 In the spleen: spherocytes increasingly
trapped = erythrocytopenia (= haemolysis)
Therapy
5 Splenectomy
5 Mechanism: Reduction of hemolysis by
abolishing destruction in the spleen; no
inuence on spherocytosis
Hemolytic Anemia
DuetoErythrocyte Enzyme Defect
Denition
5 Two enzymatic defects:
– Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase
(G6PD): X-linked inheritance
– Pyruvate kinase: autosomal inheritance
5 Mechanism: defect = abnormal glucose
metabolism = abnormal erythrocyte
deformability=hemolysis in the spleen
Clinical Examination
5 Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase de-
cit: anemia following drug, medication, or
chemical exposure
5 Pyruvate kinase decit: anemia + spleno-
megaly
Therapy
5 Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase de-
cit: splenectomy rarely indicated
5 Pyruvate kinase decit: splenectomy
Clinical Examination
5 Variable: asymptomatic carrier to severe
hemolysis
5 Anemia
5 Possibly jaundice
5 Splenomegaly
Diagnosis
5 Spherocytes
5 Increased reticulocyte count
5 Increased osmotic fragility of erythrocytes
5 Negative Coombs test
Haemoglobinopathies
Denition
5 Two entities:
– Sickle cell anemia: Autosomal recessive
disease
– Thalassemia: Autosomal dominant dis-
ease
5 Mechanism:
– Sickle cell anaemia: deformation of
erythrocytes in haemoglobin S homozygous patients=destruction of erythrocytes in spleen = anaemia; in

heterozygous patients deformation in
certain reduced PaO2-situations
– Thalassemia: defect in hemoglobin syn-
thesis=hemolytic anemia
Clinical Examination
5 Sickle cell anaemia: haemolytic anaemia +
thrombosis=microinfarctions (especially
in the spleen)+hypersplenism
5 Thalassemia: Hemolytic anemia + spleno-
megaly + splenomegaly + hypersplenism
Hypersplenism + splenic sequestration
5 For sickle cell disease and thalassaemia
5 Consequence: Acute splenomegaly = severe pain +
need for transfusion
Therapy
5 Medical/conservative therapy: transfu-
sions, painkillers, etc.
5 Splenectomy:
– Indication: recurrent acute sequestra-
tion crises; recurrent blood transfusions; massive splenomegaly; splenic
abscesses
– Open vs. laparoscopic splenectomy
5 Acute symptoms due to hemorrhage of
the cyst; usually due to increase in size of
the cyst
Epidemiology
5 True cysts: mostly parasitic (Ecchinococ-
cus species)
5 Non-parasitic cysts: 70–80% = pseudo-
cysts
Therapy
5 Suspicion of parasitic cysts: Preoperative
serological conrmation
5 Parasitic cysts/pseudocysts: splenectomy
5 Non-parasitic cysts: partial splenectomy
5 Pseudocysts: If <4cm: Monitoring
Splenic Abscess
5 Rare, potentially life-threatening disease
5 Incidence=0.7%
5 Mortality:

– Up to 80% in immunocompromised
patients

apy=staging laparoscopy

patients with splenomegaly.
5 Chronic lymphocytic leukemia: splenec-
tomy = palliative measure for symptomatic splenomegaly
5 Chronic myelocytic leukemia: splenec-
tomy=palliative measure in symptomatic
splenomegaly or hypersplenism
tumors = splenectomy (diagnostic,
therapeutic, palliative)
11.2.4 Spleen Trauma
5 See polytrauma; blunt abdominal trauma
Epidemiology
5 Spleen trauma=most frequent indication
for laparotomy after blunt abdominal
trauma
5 Mechanisms:
– Car/truck accident most frequent
– Other: Falls; pedestrian vs. car/motor-
cycle; bicycle accident; sports accidents.
Pathophysiology
5 Injury by:
– Rapid deceleration (with avulsion of
the splenic ligaments)=capsular avul-
sion
– Compression
– Energy transfer through the posterolat-
eral thoracic wall
– Impaling through a (fractured) rib
5 Spleen perfusion = 5% of cardiac out-
put = minimal splenic trauma = severe
bleeding
Non-hematological Malignant
Tumors
5 Metastases:
– Mostly from cancers of the breast, lung
or melanoma
– Mostly asymptomatic
– Symptoms if: Splenomegaly/spleen rup-
ture
– Splenectomy=effective palliative treat-
ment
5 Vascular tumors:
– Benign: Hemangiomas
– Malignant: angiosarcomas, hemangio-
sarcomas; highly aggressive
Diagnosis
Anamnesis
5 Mostly orienting/typical
5 Important=accident mechanism
Clinical Examination

5 External signs of direct force (deformity,
haematoma, etc.)
5 Hemodynamic status (hypotension, tachy-
cardia)
