“…Recently, a large retrospective study of 46,682 patients who underwent surgery for colorectal cancer surgery revealed that 1.4 % received splenic injury; of these, 127 cases resulted in splenectomy (0.3 % of the total population). In addition, the patients who underwent spleen repair were found to have a significantly lower mortality rate than the patients who had to undergo splenectomy (4.7 % vs. 11.8 %) [ 5 ]. Several other studies have reported similar results [ 14 – 19 ].…”

“…While most of these could be repaired, splenectomy was necessary in 127 patients (0.3 % of the total population). The patients who underwent splenic repair had significantly lower morbidity and mortality rates than the patients who underwent splenectomy [ 5 ]. A retrospective analysis by Holubar et al showed that even when multiple attempts to salvage the spleen by splenorraphy were made in cases of iatrogenic injury of the spleen after colectomy, most (70 %) still ended in splenectomy [ 6 ].…”

A solution to the negative effects of splenectomy during colorectal trauma and surgery: an experimental study on splenic autotransplantation to the groin area

BackgroundSplenectomy after combined colosplenic trauma or iatrogenic splenic injury during colorectal surgery associates with worse short- and long-term outcomes, including reduced survival in patients with colorectal cancer. Splenic autotransplantation may improve the outcomes of such patients. Omental splenic transplantation is the standard procedure but may be difficult when performing laparoscopic colorectal surgery or when total or subtotal omentectomy is required. This animal model study was performed to evaluate the impact of splenic autotransplantation to the groin area on colonic wound healing.MethodsThirty rats were divided into three groups of ten animals. One group underwent colon anastomosis and sham splenectomy, the second underwent colon anastomosis and splenectomy, and the third underwent colon anastomosis, splenectomy, and intramuscular autotransplantation of the spleen. On postoperative day 7, anastomotic healing was evaluated by measuring bursting pressure and hydroxyproline levels. The third group was subjected to scintigraphy before sacrifice to assess whether the transplant was functional.ResultsThe mortality rates of the sham, splenectomized, and transplanted animals were 0 %, 30 %, and 20 %, respectively: the splenectomized animals had significantly lower mean bursting pressures than the other two groups (p = 0.002). The mean hydroxyproline levels of the three groups were 467.4, 335.3, and 412.7 mg hydroxyproline/g protein, respectively (p = 0.0856). Nine of the ten transplanted animals (90 %) had splenic activity on scintigraphy.ConclusionsSplenectomy impaired the healing of the colonic anastomosis. This effect was largely reversed by splenic autotransplantation. Intramuscular autotransplantation to the groin area appears to be feasible and effective.
