Splenic infarction after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomyIsmail Ertuğrul1, Faik Yaylak2, Merve Şenkul2, Eray Atlı3, Ali Tardu41Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Evliya Çelebi Training and Research Hospital, Kütahya, Turkey2Department of General Surgery, Dumlupınar University Faculty of Medicine, Kütahya, Turkey 3Department of Radiology, Okan University Faculty of Medicine, İstanbul, Turkey 4Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Sultan Murat-I Public Hospital, Edirne, Turkey Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is a common procedure for obesity with well-defined complications. This case report describes a splenic infarction observed after a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy performed in a 32-year-old female patient with a body mass index of 41 kg/m2. On the postoperative second day she presented with left-sided thoracic pain and fever. Intravenous contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) revealed a splenic infarction in the upper pole. The patient was treated conservatively with antibiotics and analgesics. She was discharged on the postoperative sixth day. One month later, patient was symptom-free at the control visit. A follow-up CT demonstrated regression on the infarction side with minimal residue. Splenic infarction after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is a rare, early surgical complication. Diagnosis is made with confirmation of clinical signs using CT. Conservative treatment is adequate for most patients. In our case, a retrospective review of the laparoscopic images revealed the ischemic areas after the division of the short gastric vasculature.
