Congenital cyst in female accessory spleen: a case report

Cysts found in splenic stores, of parasitic or non-parasitic origin, are rare causes of recurrent abdominal pain, but with a significant increase in the number of diagnoses in recent years. This condition is caused by the derivation of the mesothelial cell lining of the spleen capsule, occurring in 0.5 - 2% of the world population. Clinically, patients tend to remain asymptomatic for years and usually have an incidental diagnosis by imaging exams or during the investigation of diffuse and recurrent abdominal pain, rarely found in females. The treatment of splenic cysts is performed through video laparoscopic splenic resection.

Elektivna resekcija slezine - pregled tehnika resekcije i prikaz nove tehnike zasnovane na radiofrekventnoj koagulaciji i desikaciji

The authors present a short overview of the development of elective splenic resections. Past and present indications are presented. Contemporary hemostatic technique for elective splenic resection are discussed. An original new technique for transsegmental partial splenic resection using RF generator (Radionic Cool Tip) without any additional hemostatic procedures is presented. This technique is inovative and when use properly it is a practically zero blood loss technique. A patient with transsegmental splenic resection using RF generator is presented. Further clinical application of the technique is necessary.
