“…Detorsion and splenopexy may be considered a reasonable surgical option even in these patients, when there is no evidence of infarction and thrombosis [3,10,11]. Takayasu [6] reported a case of autotransplantation, in which parts of the splenic tissue are transplanted into pouches created in the omentum.…”

“…In this procedure, two sheets of absorbable knitted mesh were used to sandwich the spleen, and the sandwich was fixed to the left subdiaphragm. Klaus et al [13] and Marcelo et al [14] reported the same method of laparoscopic splenopexy at almost the same time in 2005. In their procedure, the left lateral extraperitoneum was dissected via a balloon inserted through the intercostal space, and the balloon was made from grove finger for operation.…”

Laparoscopic splenopexy for wandering spleen: extraperitoneal pocket splenopexy

et al. 2006

Wandering spleen is a very rare disease. It is a very dangerous condition due to the risk of splenic ischemia from persistent pedicle torsion. Here, we describe a case of wandering spleen diagnosed by ultrasound and computed tomography scans in an 11-year-old boy who suffered from frequent urination and enuresis. A laparoscopic splenopexy was successfully performed with fixation of the spleen in an extraperitoneal pocket. Since the operation, the organ has remained in place with good perfusion. The details of the procedure are described.
