Vasa brevia
Spleen

Pancreas
At this stage, the vasa brevia along
the gastroepiploic arcade are divided
using an appropriate energy source.
This is begun just below the inferior
pole of the spleen, and opens up
the lesser sac (3).
As this dissection progresses up
towards the superior pole of the
spleen and the angle of His, the
pancreas and splenic artery come nice-
ly into view. When this phase of dissec-
tion is completed, the superior pole of the
spleen will retract away from the midline.

completely divided, the only remaining blood supply to the spleen is
that traversing the splenic hilum itself.
Before approaching the hilar vessels, much of the remaining spleen can be mobilized by dividing the filmy attachments that secure the spleen to the retroperitoneum (4). The spleen should not be completely freed, as some fixation is helpful during the hilar dissec­tion. If the majority of this dissection is
the spleen to divide filmy attachments to the
diaphragm and retroperitoneum can be undertaken at this
time to begin to mobilize the spleen. Once the vasa brevia are

accomplished at this time, then when the splenic vessels are completely divided, the spleen can easily be removed.

Division of the hilar vessels is the most challenging and potentially dangerous portion of the opera­tion. Prior to this undertaking, blunt instru­ments should be used to ensure there is an adequate plane behind the splenic hilum. Then, sequential vascular load firings of a laparoscopic stapler are used to progres­sively divide the hilum adjacent to the spleen (5). Obviously, if untoward bleeding is encountered, rapid conver­sion to laparotomy may be necessary. If,

however, less dramatic bleeding is encountered, a quick attempt can be made to control the bleeding by grasping a vessel with the laparoscopic instrument fol­lowed by control with either another stapler load or with another energy source. Care must be taken not to apply excessive heat or electrical energy to regions that already have clips. Doing so can affect those clips and pre­cipitate post-operative bleeding.

Hilar vessels divided
Organ removal sac
Once the splenic hilum is completely divided, it remains only for the surgeon to fully mobilize the spleen from the retroperitoneum and from the diaphragm. Once this is done, the spleen can be placed in an organ removal sac (6). The 12 mm auxiliary port is generally used for this purpose.

This incision is then enlarged to approximately one inch to allow removal of the spleen piece­meal with a ring forceps or other device (7). This wound is then closed, and the patient again undergoes laparoscopy. The surgical field is carefully exam­ined for bleeding and for any sign of accessory spleens. If an acces­sory spleen is found, it should also be removed laparoscopically.

Splenectomy for a Massive Spleen
Operative Indications:
There are a variety of situations when a splenectomy is required for a massively enlarged spleen. Myeloid metaplasia is per­haps the most notable. The potential for massive bleeding is much greater with a markedly enlarged spleen, but splenec­tomy may actually be easier than with a normal-sized spleen in a deep-chested or obese individual. Because of the mas­sive enlargement, the spleen generally is no longer attached firmly to the retroperitoneum. It has become peritonealized. It can often be easily delivered out of the wound after opening the abdomen.
Operative Technique:
When performing a splenectomy in an individual with a normal-sized spleen, either an upper midline or left subcostal incision is appropriate. When performing a splenectomy for a massive spleen, a long midline incision should be used. It may be difficult to deliv­er the spleen through a shorter subcostal incision.
356 Atlas of Gastrointestinal Surgery: Spleen
When the abdomen is entered, the spleen maybe mobile enough that it can be delivered up into the wound without the usual division of the retroperitoneum in the left upper quadrant (1).

Omentum
Transverse colon
The lesser sac is entered by removing the omentum from the entire length of the left transverse colon.
This is often an avascular plane, and can be easily divided with the electrocautery (2).

Once the splenic flexure of the colon is reached,
the attachments between the splenic flexure of
the colon and the spleen (the lienocolic
ligament/attachments) are divided and
the splenic flexure is retracted in an
inferior direction. The omentum is

The vasa brevia are divided between
Reinhoff clamps, and ligated with
2-0 silks (4). As the superior
aspect of the spleen and the
superior aspect of the greater
curvature of the stomach are
approached, long Reinhoff
clamps are often of benefit in
clamping, dividing and ligat­ing the vasa brevia. At this

of the pancreas are widely

point, it is often desirable to clamp the artery with a bulldog clamp before splenic mobiliza­tion is attempted (5). The blood flow to a massively enlarged spleen is substantial, and the potential for massive blood loss is significant. Therefore the enlarged splenic artery should be clamped early in the procedure, before mobilization of the spleen is attempted.

At this point, the spleen is mobilized. As mentioned earlier, often the spleen is already fairly mobile and has assumed an intraperitoneal position. It often does not have the retroperitoneal fixation of a normal-sized spleen. Nevertheless, the peri­toneal attachments lateral to the spleen in the retroperitoneum need to be divided. The surgeon should place the left hand on the spleen, and rotate and retract it medially toward the spine. An assistant can pick up the retroperitoneal serosa adjacent to the left lateral aspect of the spleen with a long Reinhoff clamp, and the surgeon, using an electrocautery with an extension, can divide the retroperitoneal attachments (6). This will allow the spleen to be further mobilized up into the wound.

At this point, the splenic artery along the superior border of the tail of the pancreas, just
before it enters the splenic hilum, should be
dissected free. The splenic artery should
be triply clamped, divided, and triply lig-
ated (7). Occasionally, it will have
bifurcated or trifurcated before entering the splenic hilum, and the various
branches will need to be controlled.

The splenic vein is best approached posteriorly. In con-
trast to the splenic artery, which courses along the supe­rior aspect of the body and the tail of the pancreas, the splenic vein generally courses along a groove in the midportion of the posterior aspect of the pancreas. In the face of a massively enlarged spleen, the splenic vein will be huge. It has to be dissected free very carefully, triply clamped, divided, and triply ligated with 2-0 silk ties (8). Again, it is often possible to work with the main trunk, but occasionally, one will

have to divide its various branches. Prior to ligating the splenic vein, the spleen should be compressed, giving the patient an autotransfusion. Once the splenic artery and vein have been controlled, the vari­ous areolar and soft tissue attachments between the tail of the pancreas and the spleen should be doubly clamped, divided, and ligated with 2-0 silks.
