Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the complex heterozygous mutations of ANK1 and SPTA1 in the same individual and improve our understanding of hereditary spherocytosis (HS) in children. We also hope to promote the application of gene detection technology in children with HS, with the goals of identifying more related gene mutations, supporting the acquisition of improved molecular genetic information to further reveal the pathogenesis of HS in children, and providing important guidance for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of HS in children.
CASE SUMMARY A 1-year and 5-month-old patient presented jaundice during the neonatal period, mild anemia 8 months later, splenic enlargement at 1 year and 5 months, and brittle red blood cell permeability. Genetic testing was performed on the patient, their parents, and sister. Swiss Model software was used to predict the protein structure of complex heterozygous mutations in ANK1 and SPTA1. Genetic testing revealed that the patient harbored a new mutation in the ANK1 gene from the father and a mutation in the SPTA1 gene from the mother. Combined with the clinical symptoms of the children, it is suggested that the newly discovered complex heterozygous mutations of ANK1 and SPTA1 may be the cause, providing important guidance for revealing the pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and promotion of gene detection technology in children with HS.
CONCLUSION This case involves an unreported complex heterozygous mutation of ANK1 and SPTA1, which provides a reference for exploring HS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Subtotal or total splenectomy are recommended in severe and should be considered in intermediate forms of hereditary spherocytosis (HS). Data on laparoscopic subtotal splenectomy (LSTS) in HS patients are sparse. METHODS Thirty three patients with HS (median age 10.7 years (yrs), range 1.8-15.5) underwent LSTS. Baseline and follow-up investigation included haematological parameters, microscopic analysis of pitted erythrocytes (pitE), and B-cell subpopulations assessed by flow cytometry. Results were compared to those of non-splenectomised HS patients, HS patients after total splenectomy (TS), and healthy individuals. RESULTS After LSTS, haemoglobin levels were normalised in all patients. During median long-term follow-up of 3.9 yrs (range 1.1-14.9), only four patients presented mild anaemia. Despite re-growing of the remnant spleen none of the patients required a second surgical intervention. As compared to TS, PitE in LSTS patients were significantly lower and indicated normal to only moderately decreased spleen function. Relative but not absolute IgM memory B-cell counts were reduced in both LSTS and TS patients. CONCLUSIONS LSTS is effective for the treatment of patients with HS. A small remnant spleen is sufficient to provide adequate phagocytic function and to induce a pool of IgM memory B-cells.

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to assess the effectiveness and perioperative complications of splenic surgeries in children. In 41 splenectomies, an anterior abdominal laparoscopic approach was used, with 35 including a partial laparoscopic splenectomy. Of these, three needed a conversion to open. Six patients had a total splenectomy, three of which were open. Patients ranged in age from 5 to 18 years. Splenectomy was performed for a variety of causes, including hereditary spherocytosis (n = 20), splenic cysts (n = 13), sickle cell disease (n = 3), primary malignancy (n = 1), sepsis (n = 1), embolism (n = 1), anemia (n = 1), and hypersplenism (n = 1). The average length of stay was 7.6 days, and the average operation time was 169.3 min. Pleural effusion in the left hemithorax was found in 31.6% of the patients, with 5.3% requiring a thorax drain. The majority of patients had the highest platelet count two weeks after surgery. There was no evidence of wound infection, pancreatic leak, colon perforation, or postoperative sepsis. The most encountered perioperative complication was bleeding with the need of transfusion (n = 6), and one patient needed a diaphragm repair. A partial splenectomy (PS) can be a difficult procedure with a steep learning curve. For most children who require a splenic operation, this should be the primary procedure of choice.

Abstract
PURPOSE Partial, or subtotal, splenectomy (PS) has become an accepted alternative to total splenectomy (TS) for management of hematologic disorders in children, but little is known about its long-term outcomes. Here, we present our institutional experience with partial splenectomy, to determine rate of subsequent TS or cholecystectomy and identify if any factors affected this need. METHODS All patients who underwent partial splenectomy at a single tertiary children's hospital were retrospectively reviewed from 2002 through 2019 after IRB approval. Primary outcome of interest was rate of reoperation to completion splenectomy (CS) and rate of cholecystectomy. Secondary outcome were positive predictor(s) for these subsequent procedures. RESULTS Twenty-four patients underwent PS, at median age 6.0 years, with preoperative spleen size of 12.7 cm by ultrasound. At median follow up time of 8.0 years, 29% of all patients and 24% of hereditary spherocytosis (HS) patients underwent completion splenectomy at median 34 months and 45 months, respectively. Amongst HS patients who did not have a cholecystectomy with or prior to PS, 39% underwent a delayed cholecystectomy following PS. There were no significant differences in age at index procedure, preoperative splenic volume, weight of splenic specimen removed, transfusion requirements, preoperative or postoperative hematologic parameters (including hemoglobin, hematocrit, total bilirubin, and reticulocyte count) amongst patients of all diagnoses and HS only who underwent PS alone compared to those who went on to CS. There were no cases of OPSS or deaths. CONCLUSION Partial splenectomy is a safe alternative to total splenectomy in children with hematologic disease with theoretical decreased susceptibility to OPSS. However, families should be counseled of a 29% chance of reoperation to completion splenectomy, and, in HS patients, a 39% chance of delayed cholecystectomy if not performed prior to or with PS. Further studies are needed to understand predictors of these outcomes.

Abstract
Background Total splenectomy (TS) and partial splenectomy (PS) are used for children with congenital hemolytic anemia (CHA), although the long-term outcomes of these procedures are poorly defined. This report describes long-term outcomes of children with CHA requiring TS or PS. Procedure We collected data from children ages 2-17 with hereditary spherocytosis (HS) or sickle cell disease (SCD) requiring TS or PS from 1996 to 2016 from 14 sites in the Splenectomy in Congenital Hemolytic Anemia (SICHA) consortium using a prospective, observational patient registry. We summarized hematologic outcomes, clinical outcomes, and adverse events to 5 years after surgery. Hematologic outcomes were compared using mixed effects modeling. Results Over the study period, 110 children with HS and 97 children with SCD underwent TS or PS. From preoperatively compared to postoperatively, children with HS increased their mean hemoglobin level by 3.4 g/dL, decreased their mean reticulocyte percentage by 6.7%, and decreased their mean bilirubin by 2.4mg/dL. Hematologic improvements and improved clinical outcomes were sustained over 5 years of follow-up. For children with SCD, there was no change in hemoglobin after PS or TS following surgery, although all clinical outcomes were improved. Over 5 years, there was one child with HS and 5 children with SCD who developed post-splenectomy sepsis. Conclusions For children with HS, there are excellent long-term hematologic and clinical outcomes following either PS or TS. Although hemoglobin levels do not change after TS or PS in SCD, the long-term clinical outcomes for children with SCD are favorable.

Abstract
Background Systemic protumorigenic effects have been noted after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of normal liver and have been linked to an interleukin 6/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3)/hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)/tyrosine-protein kinase Met (c-Met)/vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) cytokinetic pathway. Purpose To elucidate kinetics of RFA protumorigenic effects on intrahepatic metastatic implantation and growth and determine potential molecular targets for pharmacologic suppression of these effects. Materials and Methods An intrahepatic metastasis model was established by implanting CT26 and MC38 tumor cells into 216 7-8-week-old male Balb/C and C57BL6 mice, respectively, by means of splenic injection. Between June 2017 and March 2019, mice underwent tumor injection, followed 24 hours later by either standardized RFA (70°C ± 1, 5 minutes, 1-cm tip) or a sham procedure (needle placement without heating) (12 animals per arm, n = 48). Next, RFA or sham procedures were performed, followed by splenic tumor cell injection at 1 day, 3 days, or 7 days later (six animals per arm, n = 72). Finally, PHA-665752 and S3I-201 were used to block c-Met or STAT3, respectively, prior to either RFA or sham treatment (six animals per arm, n = 96). Livers were harvested at 14 days for CT26 and 21days for MC38 for tumor quantification. Ki-67 and CD34 immunohistochemistry measured proliferative indexes and microvascular density, respectively. Data were compared with analysis of variance and the two-tailed Student t test. Results RFA performed after tumor cell injection induced increased metastatic tumor number (103 ± 45 vs 52 ± 44 [CT26], P = .009 and 87 ± 51 vs 39 ± 20 [MC38], P = .007), cellular proliferation (P < .001 for both), and intratumoral neovascularization (P < .001 for both), compared with the sham procedure. Tumor cell injection performed 1 day and 3 days after RFA also increased these indexes (P < .05), while no difference was demonstrated for cell injection 7 days after RFA (P > .05). Adjuvant c-Met or STAT3 inhibition reduced intrahepatic metastatic parameters after RFA to baseline (P < .03), equivalent to the sham group (P > .05). Conclusion Radiofrequency ablation of normal liver promotes intrahepatic metastatic implantation and increased growth over a short-lived (1-3 days) temporal window in animal models. This phenomenon can be potentially neutralized with specific inhibition of pathways including hepatocyte growth factor/tyrosine-protein kinase Met and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3. © RSNA, 2019 Online supplemental material is available for this article.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE In order to avoid consequences of total splenectomy (including severe postsplenectomy sepsis), partial splenectomy (PS) is increasingly reported. Without guidelines and indications concerning a rarely-indicated procedure, a review of literature should be an asset. METHODS A systematic review of all PSs from 1960 to December 2017 was performed, with special focus on surgical indications, sites of resection, approaches and techniques of vascular dissection and parenchymal section/hemostasis of the spleen, perioperative morbidity/mortality, including complications compelling to perform total splenectomy. RESULTS Among 2130 PSs, indications for resection were hematological disease in 1013 cases and nonhematological conditions in 1078, including various tumors in 142 and trauma in 184. Parenchymal transection was performed using several techniques through the years, most frequently after having induced partial ischemia by splenic hilum vascular dissection/ligation. 371 laparoscopic/robotic PSs were reported. Rescue total splenectomy was required in 75 patients. CONCLUSIONS Although good results are probably overestimated by such a retrospective review, PS should be considered as a procedure associated with a low morbidity/mortality. Nevertheless, severe complications are also reported, and the need of total splenectomy should not to be minimized. Laparoscopic/robotic procedures are increasingly performed, with good results and rare conversions. TYPE OF STUDY Systematic review. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV.
