Splenic salvage techniques in the management of pseudocysts of the spleen

J J Brown et al. South Med J. 1986 Jun.

Abstract

Nonparasitic splenic pseudocysts are an uncommon late sequela of splenic trauma. These cysts presumably develop from previously unrecognized subcapsular splenic hematomas. Classical therapy for splenic pseudocysts has been splenectomy. However, the recent recognition of the postsplenectomy sepsis syndrome has led to methods of surgical management that salvage the remainder of the spleen.
