Abstract
BACKGROUND Thromboprophylaxis after blunt splenic trauma is complicated by the risk of bleeding, but the risk after angioembolization is unknown. We hypothesized that earlier thromboprophylaxis initiation was associated with increased bleeding complications without mitigating venous thromboembolism events. METHODS All blunt trauma patients who underwent splenic angioembolization within 24 hours of arrival were identified from the American College of Surgeons Trauma Quality Improvement Program datasets from 2017 to 2019. Cases with <24-hour length of stay, other serious injuries, and surgery before angioembolization were excluded. Venous thromboembolism was defined as deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. Bleeding complications were defined as splenic surgery, additional embolization, or blood transfusion after thromboprophylaxis initiation. Data were compared with χ2 analysis and multivariate logistic regression at P < .05. RESULTS In 1,102 patients, 84% had American Association for the Surgery of Trauma grade III to V splenic injuries, and 73% received thromboprophylaxis. Splenic surgery after angioembolization was more common in those with thromboprophylaxis initiation within the first 24 hours (5.7% vs 1.7%, P = .007), whereas those with the initiation of thromboprophylaxis after 72 hours were more likely to have a pulmonary embolism (2.3% vs 0.2%, P = .001). Overall, venous thromboembolism increased considerably when thromboprophylaxis was initiated after day 3. In multivariate analysis, time to thromboprophylaxis initiation was associated with bleeding (odds ratio 0.74 [95% confidence interval 0.58-0.94]) and venous thromboembolism complications (odds ratio 1.5 [95% confidence interval 1.20-1.81]). CONCLUSION This national study evaluates bleeding and thromboembolic risk to elucidate the specific timing of thromboprophylaxis after splenic angioembolization. Initiation of thromboprophylaxis between 24 and 72 hours achieves the safest balance in minimizing bleeding and venous thromboembolism risk, with 48 hours particularly serving as the ideal time for protocolized administration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate the correlation between spleen density and the prognostic outcomes of patients who underwent curative resection for colorectal cancer (CRC). METHODS The clinical data of patients who were diagnosed with CRC and underwent radical resection were retrospectively analyzed. Spleen density was determined using computed tomography. Analysis of spleen density in relation to overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) utilizing the Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression models were used to screen for independent prognostic factors, and a nomogram was constructed to predict OS and DFS. Moreover, internally validated using a bootstrap resamplling method. RESULTS Two hundred twelve patients were included, of whom 23 (10.85%) were defined as having a diffuse reduction of spleen density (DROSD) based on diagnostic cutoff values (spleen density≦37.00HU). Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated that patients with DROSD had worse OS and DFS than those non-DROSD (P < 0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that DROSD, carbohydrate antigen 199 (CA199) > 37 U/mL, tumor node metastasis (TNM) stage III-IV, laparoscopy-assisted operation and American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) score were independent risk factors for 3-year DFS. DROSD, CA199 > 37 U/mL, TNM stage III-IV, hypoalbuminemia, laparoscopy-assisted operation and ASA score were chosen as predictors of for 3-year OS. Nomograms showed satisfactory accuracy in predicting OS and DFS using calibration curves, decision curve analysis and bootstrap resamplling method. CONCLUSION Patients with DROSD who underwent curative resection have worse 3-year DFS and OS. The nomogram demonstrated good performance, particularly in predicting 3-year DFS with a net clinical benefit superior to well-established risk calculator.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the early 2000s, substantial variations were reported in the management of pediatric patients with blunt splenic injury (BSI). The purpose of this study was to assess the recent trends and disparities between different types of trauma centers. We hypothesized that there would be persistent disparities despite decreased trends in the rate of splenectomy. METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study using the American College of Surgeons Trauma Quality Improvement Program database. We included patients (age ≤18 years) with high-grade BSI (Abbreviated Injury Scale 3-5) between 2014 and 2021. The patients were divided into three groups based on trauma center types (adult trauma centers [ATCs], mixed trauma centers [MTCs], and pediatric trauma centers [PTCs]). The primary outcome was the splenectomy rate. Logistic regression was performed to evaluate the association between trauma center types and clinical outcomes. Additionally, the trends in the rate of splenectomy at ATCs, MTCs, and PTCs were evaluated. RESULTS A total of 6601 patients with high-grade BSI were included in the analysis. Overall splenectomy rates were 524 (17.5%), 448 (16.3%), and 32 (3.7%) in the ATC, MTC, and PTC groups, respectively. ATCs and MTCs had significantly higher splenectomy rates compared to PTCs (ATCs: OR = 5.72, 95%CI = 3.78-8.67, and p < 0.001 and MTCs: OR = 4.50, 95%CI = 2.97-6.81, and p < 0.001), while decreased trends in the splenectomy rates were observed in ATCs and MTCs (ATCs: OR = 0.92, 95%CI = 0.87-0.97, and p = 0.003 and MTCs: OR = 0.92, 95%CI = 0.87-0.98, and p = 0.013). CONCLUSIONS This study suggested persistent disparities between different trauma center types in the management of children with high-grade BSI.

Abstract
Colonoscopy is an integral part of the lower bowel care and is generally considered a potentially safe diagnostic and therapeutic procedure performed as a daycare outpatient procedure. Colonoscopy is associated with different complications that are not limited to adverse events related to the bowel preparation solutions used, the sedatives used, but to the procedure related as well including bleeding and perforation. Injuries to the extra-luminal abdominal organs during colonoscopy are uncommon, however, serious complications related to the procedure have been reported infrequently in the literature. Life threatening injuries to the spleen, liver, pancreas, mesentery, and urinary bladder have been reported as early as in mid-1970s. These injuries should not be overlooked by clinicians and endoscopists. Steadily increasing abdominal pain, abdominal distension, and hemodynamic instability in absence of rectal bleeding should raise the possibility of severe organ injury. Splenic and hepatic injury following colonoscopy are usually serious and may be life threatening. Although conservative management may help, yet they usually need interventional radiology or surgical intervention. Acute pancreatitis following colonoscopy is usually mild and is mostly managed conservatively. The mechanism of abdominal organ injuries during colonoscopy is not fully understood, however many risk factors have been identified, which can be classified as- organ related, procedure related, and local abdominal factors. Difficult colonoscopy and prior intra-abdominal adhesions are probably the most relevant risk factors for these injuries. Left lateral position, avoidance of looping and excessive force during the procedure would probably reduce the risk of such injuries.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate determinants impacting the surgical management of splenic trauma in paediatric patients by scrutinizing age distribution, etiological factors and concomitant injuries. The analysis seeks to establish a foundation for delineating optimal operative timing. METHODS A cohort of 262 paediatric cases presenting with splenic trauma at our institution from January 2011 to December 2021 underwent categorization into either the conservative or operative group. RESULTS Significantly disparate attributes between the two groups included age, time of presentation, blood pressure, haemoglobin levels, blood transfusion requirements, thermal absorption, American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) classification and associated injuries. Logistic regression analysis revealed age, haemoglobin levels, AAST classification and blood transfusion as autonomous influencers of surgical intervention (OR = 1.024, 95% CI: 1.011-1.037; OR = 1.067, 95% CI: 1.01-1.127; OR = 0.2760, 95% CI: 0.087-0.875; OR = 7.873, 95% CI: 2.442-25.382; OR = 0.016, 95% CI: 0.002-0.153). The AAST type and age demonstrated areas under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of 0.782 and 0.618, respectively. CONCLUSION Age, haemoglobin levels, AAST classification and blood transfusion independently influence the decision for surgical intervention in paediatric patients with splenic trauma. Age and AAST classification emerge as viable parameters for assessing and prognosticating the likelihood of surgical intervention in this patient cohort.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The gastrohepatic ligament approach is a form of robot-assisted spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (SPDP).1,2 This approach does not require omentum transection, peri-splenic dissection, or stomach traction. METHODS Considering the advantages of preserving collateral pathways around the spleen, the authors performed the gastrohepatic ligament approach in laparoscopic SPDP while preserving splenic vessels (LSPDP), with specific modifications for laparoscopic surgery. The following surgical technique was performed. First, the gastrohepatic ligament was divided extensively, and all subsequent procedures were performed through the gastrohepatic ligament route. The superior and inferior borders of the pancreas then were dissected to encircle the common hepatic and splenic arteries with vessel loops and to expose the superior mesenteric vein (SMV) and portal vein. After taping of the pancreas on the SMV, the pancreas was divided using a linear stapler. Next, the pancreas was dissected from proximal to distal with preservation of the splenic vessels. Re-taping and traction of the splenic vessels and pancreas could facilitate the dissection of the pancreas body, especially at the splenic hilum. The appropriate counter traction using traction tapes allowed efficient laparoscopic procedures. The LSPDP was performed for three patients, including one obese patient (body mass index, 36 kg/m2) and two patients with an anomalous left hepatic artery branching from the left gastric artery. RESULTS The mean operation time was 186 min, and the intraoperative blood loss was 37 mL. CONCLUSION The gastrohepatic ligament approach could be an option for performing LSPDP with the counter traction technique for low-grade malignant tumors.

Abstract
Surgical removal of the thyroid gland (TG) for treating thyroid disorders leaves the patients on lifelong hormone replacement that partially compensates the physiological needs, but regenerating TG is challenging. Here, an approach is reported to regenerate TG within the spleen for fully restoring the thyroid's functions in mice, by transplanting thyroid tissue blocks to the spleen. Within 48 h, the transplanted tissue efficiently revascularizes, forming thyroid follicles similar to the native gland after 4 weeks. Structurally, the ectopically generated thyroid integrates with the surrounding splenic tissue while maintaining its integrity, separate from the lymphatic tissue. Functionally, it fully restores the native functions of the TG in hormone regulation in response to physiological stimuli, outperforming the established method of oral levothyroxine therapy in maintaining systemic homeostasis. The study demonstrates the full restoration of thyroid functions post-thyroidectomy by intrasplenic TG regeneration, providing fresh insights for designing novel therapies for thyroid-related disorders.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate comparative outcomes of laparoscopic spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (LSPDP) and laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy (LDPS). METHODS A systematic search of multiple electronic data sources and bibliographic reference lists were conducted. Comparative studies reporting outcomes of LSPDP and LDPS were considered followed by evaluation of the associated risk of bias according to ROBINS-I tool. Perioperative complications, clinically important postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF), infectious complications, blood loss, conversion to open, operative time and duration of hospital stay were the investigated outcome parameters. RESULTS Nineteen studies were identified enrolling 3739 patients of whom 1860 patients underwent LSPDP and the remaining 1879 patients had LDPS. The patients in the LSPDP and LDPS groups were of comparable age (p = 0.73), gender (p = 0.59), and BMI (p = 0.07). However, the patient in the LDPS group had larger tumour size (p = 0.0004) and more malignant lesions (p = 0.02). LSPDP was associated with significantly lower POPF (OR:0.65, p = 0.02), blood loss (MD:-28.30, p = 0.001), and conversion to open (OR:0.48, p < 0.0001) compared to LDPS. Moreover, it was associated with significantly shorter procedure time (MD: -22.06, p = 0.0009) and length of hospital stay (MD: -0.75, p = 0.005). However, no significant differences were identified in overall perioperative (OR:0.89, p = 0.25) or infectious (OR:0.67, p = 0.05) complications between two groups. CONCLUSIONS LSPDP seems to be associated with lower POPF, bleeding and conversion to open compared to LDPS in patients with small-sized benign tumours. Moreover, it may be quicker and reduce hospital stay. Nevertheless, such advantages are of doubtful merit about large-sized or malignant tumours. The available evidence is subject to confounding by indication.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Splenic injury due to colonoscopy is rare, but has high mortality. While historically treated conservatively for low-grade injuries or with splenectomy for high-grade injuries, splenic artery embolisation is increasingly utilised, reflecting modern treatment guidelines for external blunt trauma. This systematic review evaluates outcomes of published cases of splenic injury due to colonoscopy treated with splenic artery embolisation. METHODS A systematic review was performed of published articles concerning splenic injury during colonoscopy treated primarily with splenic artery embolisation, splenectomy, or splenorrhaphy from 1977 to 2022. Datapoints included demographics, past surgical history, indication for colonoscopy, delay to diagnosis, treatment, grade of injury, splenic artery embolisation location, splenic preservation (salvage), and mortality. RESULTS The 30 patients treated with splenic artery embolisation were of mean age 65 (SD 9) years and 67% female, with 83% avoiding splenectomy and 6.7% mortality. Splenic artery embolisation was proximal to the splenic hilum in 81%. The 163 patients treated with splenectomy were of mean age 65 (SD 11) years and 66% female, with 5.5% mortality. Three patients treated with splenorrhaphy of median age 60 (range 59-70) years all avoided splenectomy with no mortality. There was no difference in mortality between splenic artery embolisation and splenectomy cohorts (p = 0.81). CONCLUSIONS Splenic artery embolisation is an effective treatment option in splenic injury due to colonoscopy. Given the known benefits of splenic salvage compared to splenectomy, including preserved immune function against encapsulated organisms, low cost, and shorter hospital length of stay, embolisation should be incorporated into treatment pathways for splenic injury due to colonoscopy in suitable patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The spleen plays a significant role in the clearance of circulating microorganisms. Sequelae of splenectomy, especially immunodeficiency, can have a deleterious effect on a patient's health and even lead to death. Hence, splenectomy should be avoided and spleen preservation during elective surgery has become a treatment goal. However, this cannot be achieved in every patient due to intraoperative technical difficulties or oncological reasons. Autogenic splenic implantation (ASI) is currently the only possible way to preserve splenic function when a splenectomy is necessary. Experience largely stems from trauma patients with a splenic rupture. Splenic immune function can be measured by the body's clearing capacity of encapsulated bacteria. The aim of this study is to assess the splenic immune function after ASI was performed during minimally invasive (laparoscopic or robotic) distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy. METHODS This is the protocol for a multicentre, randomized, open-labelled trial. Thirty participants with benign or low-grade malignant lesions of the distal pancreas requiring minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy will be allocated to either additional intraoperative ASI (intervention) or no further intervention (control). An additional 15 patients who will undergo spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy serve as the control group with normal splenic function. Six months postoperatively, after assumed restoration of splenic function, patients will be given a Salmonella typhi (Typhim Vi™) vaccine. The Salmonella typhi vaccine is a polysaccharide vaccine. The specific antibody titres immediately before and 4 to 6 weeks after vaccination will be measured. The ratio between pre- and post-vaccination antibody count is the primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measures include intraoperative details, length of hospital stay, 30-day mortality and morbidity. DISCUSSION This study will investigate the splenic immune function of patients who undergo ASI during minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy. The splenic immune function will be measured using the surrogate outcome of specific antibody titre after vaccination with a Salmonella typhi vaccine. The results will reveal details about splenic function after ASI and guide further treatment options for patients when a splenectomy cannot be avoided. It might eventually lead to a new standard of care making sometimes more demanding and time-consuming spleen-preserving procedures redundant.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Laparoscopic spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (LSDP) is widely performed to treat benign and low-grade malignant diseases. Although preservation of splenic vessels may be desirable considering the risk of postoperative complications, it is sometimes difficult due to tumor size, inflammation, and proximity of the tumor and splenic vessels. Herein, we present the first case of LSDP with splenic artery resection and splenic vein preservation. MATERIALS AND SURGICAL TECHNIQUE A 40-year-old woman with a pancreatic tumor was referred to our hospital. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) revealed a tumor in the pancreatic tail that was in contact with the splenic artery and distant from the splenic vein. The splenic artery and vein were separated from the pancreas near the dissection line. The splenic artery was resected after pancreatic dissection using a linear stapler. After the pancreatic tail was separated from the splenic hilum while preserving the splenic vein, the distal side of the splenic artery was resected, and the specimen was removed. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged on postoperative Day 9. Four months after surgery, postoperative follow-up CT findings showed neither splenic infarction nor gastric varices. DISCUSSION This technique is an alternative method of splenic preservation when there is no attachment of the tumor to the splenic vein or uncontrolled expected bleeding of the splenic artery using the Kimura technique.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) Organ Injury Scale (OIS) for the spleen (and other organs) was created in 1989. It has been validated to predict mortality, need for operation, length of stay (LOS), and intensive care unit (ICU) LOS. PURPOSE We aimed to determine if the Spleen OIS is applied equally to blunt and penetrating trauma. RESEARCH DESIGN/STUDY SAMPLE We analyzed the Trauma Quality Improvement Program (TQIP) database from 2017-2019, including patients with spleen injuries. DATA COLLECTION Outcomes included the rates of mortality, operation, spleen-specific operation, splenectomy, and splenic embolization. RESULTS 60900 patients had a spleen injury with an OIS grade. Mortality rates increased in Grades IV and V for both blunt and penetrating trauma. In blunt trauma, the odds for any operation, spleen-specific operation, and splenectomy increased, for each increase in grade. Penetrating trauma showed similar trends in grades up to grade IV, but were statistically similar between grade IV and V. Splenectomy was higher in penetrating trauma for all grades. Splenic embolization peaked at 25% of grade IV trauma before decreasing in grade V. Rates in penetrating trauma were significantly lower in all grades, peaking at 2.5% of Grade III injuries. CONCLUSIONS The mechanism of trauma is a significant factor for all outcomes, independent of AAST-OIS. Hemostasis is predominantly surgical in penetrating trauma, achieved with angioembolization more frequently in blunt trauma. Penetrating trauma management is influenced by the potential for injury to peri-splenic organs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Creating a tunnel between the pancreas and splenic vessels followed by pancreatic parenchyma transection ("tunnel-first" strategy) has long been used in spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (SPDP) with splenic vessel preservation (Kimura's procedure). However, the operation space is limited in the tunnel, leading to the risks of bleeding and difficulties in suturing. We adopted the pancreatic "parenchyma transection-first" strategy to optimize Kimura's procedure. METHODS The clinical data of consecutive patients who underwent robotic SPDP with Kimura's procedure between January 2017 and September 2022 at our center were retrieved. The cohort was classified into a "parenchyma transection-first" strategy (P-F) group and a "tunnel-first" strategy (T-F) group and analyzed. RESULTS A total of 91 patients were enrolled in this cohort, with 49 in the T-F group and 42 in the P-F group. Compared with the T-F group, the P-F group had significantly shorter operative time (146.1 ± 39.2 min vs. 174.9 ± 46.6 min, P < 0.01) and lower estimated blood loss [40.0 (20.0-55.0) mL vs. 50.0 (20.0-100.0) mL, P = 0.03]. Failure of splenic vessel preservation occurred in 10.2% patients in the T-F group and 2.4% in the P-F group (P = 0.14). The grade 3/4 complications were similar between the two groups (P = 0.57). No differences in postoperative pancreatic fistula, abdominal infection or hemorrhage were observed between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS The pancreatic "parenchyma transection-first" strategy is safe and feasible compared with traditional "tunnel-first strategy" in SPDP with Kimura's procedure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Splenic surgery in hematological disorders requires a well-weighted decision on the indications because the medical treatment has rapidly changed in recent years due to new pharmaceutical approaches. OBJECTIVE Summary of the indications, surgical procedures and perioperative management regarding operative interventions on the spleen in hematological disorders. MATERIAL AND METHODS Selective literature search and summary of reviews and guideline recommendations. RESULTS In hematological disorders surgical procedures of the spleen (splenectomy and partial splenectomy) are an important part of the repertoire in the treatment. In recent years the indications for surgery have become narrower because of new forms of medicinal treatment. Especially in hereditary spherocytosis, immune thrombocytopenia and symptomatic splenomegaly and hypersplenism it is still of importance. The minimally invasive splenectomy is regarded as the gold standard. The spleen has an important immune and sequestration function, therefore preoperative and postoperative infectious and thromboembolic events have to be anticipated and prevented. A close interdisciplinary cooperation with hematologists is essential for an optimal outcome of patients. CONCLUSION The minimally invasive splenectomy and partial splenectomy are part of the surgical repertoire in the diagnostics and treatment of hematological disorders. Because of novel medicinal approaches the therapeutic protocols are continuously changing. A close cooperation with hematologists is important for the optimal evaluation of the indications and the perioperative management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Spleen-preservation during minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy (MIDP) can be technically challenging and remains controversial. Our primary aim was to compare MIDP and splenectomy with spleen-preserving MIDP. Secondarily, we compared two spleen-preserving techniques. METHODS Adults undergoing MIDP (2007-2021) were retrospectively included in this single-center study. Intraoperative and postoperative outcomes between spleen-preservation and splenectomy and between the two spleen-preserving techniques were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test for continuous data, and Fisher's exact test for categorical data. RESULTS Of the 293 patients who underwent MIDP, preservation of the spleen was intended in 208 (71%) patients. Spleen-preservation was achieved in 174 patients (84%) via the Warshaw technique (130; 75%) or vessel-preservation (44; 25%). The spleen-preserving group had shorter length of stay (3 vs 4 days, p < 0.01), fewer conversions to open (1 vs 12, p < 0.01) and less blood loss (p < 0.01) compared to the splenectomy group. Operative (OR) times were comparable (229 vs 214 min, p = 0.67). Except for the operative time, which was longer for the Warshaw technique (245 vs 183 min, p = 0.01), no other differences between the two spleen-preserving techniques were found. At a median follow-up of 43 (IQR 18-79) months after spleen-preservation, only 2 (1.1%) patients had required splenectomy (1 partial splenectomy for infarct/abscess after Warshaw, 1 for variceal bleeding after vessel-preserving). CONCLUSIONS Spleen-preservation is not associated with increased risk of blood loss, longer hospital stay, conversion, nor lengthy OR times. Late splenectomy is very rarely required. Given the immune consequences of splenectomy, spleen-preservation should be strongly considered in MIDP.

Abstract
Background Pancreatic trauma is an uncommon injury that occurs usually in a young population and is frequently overlooked and not readily appreciated on initial examination. Nowadays, the diagnosis and management of pancreatic trauma are still controversial, and there is no gold standard for the treatment. The aim of this study is to describe our experience in the management of blunt pancreatic trauma with a laparoscopic approach and review the literature on laparoscopic management of pancreatic trauma. Methods A systematic literature review was performed, and 40 cases were reported and analysed; 10 cases were excluded because the complete data were not retrievable. We also reported our experience with the case of an 18-year-old male diagnosed with a deep laceration of the pancreas between body and tail, involving the main pancreatic duct, and with a concomitant hematoma. The patient underwent exploratory laparoscopy with abdominal toilet, necrosectomy, and suture of main pancreatic duct; the total blood loss was less than 200 ml, and the total operative time was 180 minutes. The patient recovered uneventfully and was discharged on the 6th postoperative day. Results 30 patients with pancreatic trauma, 10 adults and 20 pediatrics (mean age 28.2 years and 10.5 years), underwent a total laparoscopic approach: 2 distal pancreatic-splenectomy, 22 spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy, and 6 laparoscopic drainage. The mean operative time for the adult and pediatric populations was 160.6 and 214.5 minutes, the mean estimated blood loss was 400 ml and 75 ml, and the mean hospital stay was 14.9 and 9 days, respectively. Conclusion Laparoscopic management for pancreatic trauma can be considered feasible and safe when performed by an experienced laparoscopic pancreatic team, and in such a setting, it can be considered a viable alternative to open surgery, offering the well-known benefits of minimally invasive surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Minimally invasive spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (SPDP) has emerged as a parenchyma-preserving approach and has become the standard treatment for pancreatic benign and low-grade malignant lesions. Nevertheless, minimally invasive SPDP is still technically challenging, especially when vessel preservation is intended. This study aims to describe the technique and outcomes of laparoscopic (LSPDP) and robot-assisted spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (RSPDP) with intended vessel preservation, highlighting the important tips and tricks to overcome technical obstacles and optimize surgical outcomes. METHODS A retrospective observational study of consecutive patients undergoing LSPDP and RSPDP with intended vessel preservation by a single surgeon in two different centers. A video demonstrating both surgical techniques is attached. RESULTS A total of 50 patients who underwent minimally invasive SPDP were included of which 88% underwent LSPDP and 12% RSPDP. Splenic vessels were preserved in 37 patients (74%) while a salvage vessel-resecting technique was performed in 13 patients (26%). The average surgery time was 178 ± 74 min for the vessel-preserving and 188 ± 57 for the vessel-resecting technique (p = 0.706) with an estimated blood loss of 100 mL in both groups (p = 0.663). The overall complication rate was 46% (n = 23) with major complications (Clavien Dindo ≥ III) observed in 14% (n = 7) of the patients. No conversions occurred. The median length of hospital stay was 4 days. CONCLUSION This study presented the results after minimally invasive SPDP with intended vessel preservation by a highly experienced pancreatic surgeon. It provided tips and tricks to successfully accomplish a minimally invasive SPDP, which can contribute to quick patient rehabilitation and optimal postoperative results.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The spleen is a responsible significant part of the immune system; after Splenectomy following trauma, the immune system changes; splenic autotransplantation can preserve the immune system after trauma and Splenectomy. BACKGROUND Patients can be protected from immune dysfunction by autotransplanting splenic tissues after splenectomy following trauma because their immune systems and spleens are changed. Patients can gain their immune function after splenic autotransplantation. METHODS Patient classification methods are into three categories, Group A, 6 cases with auto-translation; Group B, 6 cases without transplantation; Group C, seven regular people serving as the control. AIM OF WORK The aim of the work is not to compare outcome methods or compare types of autotransplantation; This work aims to document postoperative radiological, immunological, clinical, and hematological investigations. We concentrated on the results of investigations more than the types of operation or approach or types of autotransplantation. RESULTS We showed that, after comparing each group with normal individuals subjects, patients who did not undergo autotransplantation had significantly higher platelet counts, a more significant percentage of micronucleated reticulocytes, increased levels of naive B lymphocytes, changes in class-switched memory and class-unswitched memory B cells, and higher levels of PD1 on CD8 + T lymphocytes. Nevertheless, neither splenic autotransplant patients nor the average general population showed any appreciable variations in any of the parameters. CONCLUSIONS Spleen's activities with adequate hemocatheter activity and recovery of the immunological deficit after splenic autotransplantation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Splenectomy for proximal gastric cancer was found to offer no survival benefit in a randomized trial clarifying the role of splenectomy (JCOG0110 study). Although many studies have explored risk factors for morbidities following total gastrectomy, none have assessed the risk factors for postoperative complications in spleen-preserving total gastrectomy. METHODS Using data from 505 patients enrolled in a previous randomized trial, risk factors for postoperative complications were identified by multivariable logistic regression analysis. Then, the risk factors were assessed separately between splenectomy and spleen-preserving total gastrectomy. RESULTS Postoperative complications were identified in 119 patients (23.6%) and were more common following splenectomy than following spleen-preserving surgery (30.7% and 16.1%, respectively, p < 0.01). Multivariable analysis revealed that age ≥65 years (p = 0.032), body mass index ≥25 (p = 0.003), and blood loss ≥350 (p = 0.019) were independent risk factors for postoperative complications in the entire cohort. Among them, only body mass index was a significant independent risk factor for complications in both spleen preservation (p = 0.047) and splenectomy groups (p = 0.017). CONCLUSION Risk factors for postoperative complications were essentially the same between splenectomy and spleen preservation. Being overweight increased the risk of postoperative complications.

Abstract
Pancreatic tumors and pancreatitis are the main indications for pancreatic excision (PE). However, little is known about this type of intervention in the context of traumatic injuries. Surgical care for traumatic pancreatic injuries is challenging because of the location of the organ and the lack of information on trauma mechanisms, vital signs, hospital deposition characteristics, and associated injuries. This study examined the demographics, vital signs, associated injuries, clinical outcomes, and predictors of in-hospital mortality in patients with abdominal trauma who had undergone PE. Following the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology guidelines, we analyzed the National Trauma Data Bank and identified patients who underwent PE for penetrating or blunt trauma after an abdominal injury. Patients with significant injuries in other regions (abbreviated injury scale score ≥ 2) were excluded. Of the 403 patients who underwent PE, 232 had penetrating trauma (PT), and 171 had blunt trauma (BT). The concomitant splenic injury was more prevalent in the BT group; however, the frequency of splenectomy was comparable between groups. In particular, concomitant kidney, small intestine, stomach, colon, and liver injuries were more common in the PT group (all P < .05). Most injuries were observed in the pancreatic body and tail regions. The trauma mechanisms also differed between the groups, with motor vehicles accounting for most of the injuries in the BT group and gunshots accounting for most of the injuries in the PT group. In the PT group, major liver lacerations were approximately 3 times more common (P < .001). The in-hospital mortality rate was 12.4%, with no major differences between the PT and BT groups. Furthermore, there was no difference between BT and PT with respect to the location of the injuries in the pancreas, with the pancreatic tail and body accounting for almost 65% of injuries. Systolic blood pressure, Glasgow Coma Scale score, age, and major liver laceration were revealed by logistic regression as independent predictors of mortality, although trauma mechanisms and intent were not linked to mortality risk.

Abstract
Accessory spleen (AS) refers to single or multiple splenic tissues which appear outside the relative normal spleen position results from embryonic dysplasia similar in structure and function to the spleen. AS is frequently observed in the splenic hilus and or adjacent to the tail of pancreas, and only a few cases occurred in the pelvic cavity. We present an extremely rare AS case in urachus, which was initially considered as an urachal neoplasm revealed on CT images with big mass. However, the postoperative pathology confirmed it was an AS that had not been reported at urachal before. Urachal AS can be misdiagnosed as a tumor, so it is vital to make an accurate imaging preoperative diagnosis to avoid unnecessary biopsy and surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Central pancreatectomy(CP) is more complex surgery and higher complication rate than distal pancreatectomy(DP). However, with the development of minimally invasive surgery, CP has become a safer surgery technique. In this study, we compare minimally invasive CP(MI-CP) and Minimally invasive spleen-preserving subtotal DP(MI-SpSTDP) to figure out the short-term and long-term outcomes of MI-CP. METHODS From March 2007 to June 2020, 36 cases of MI-SpSTDP and 23 cases of MI-CP were performed for benign and borderline malignant pancreatic tumors in Severance hospital. The occurrence of postoperative pancreatic fistula(POPF) and Clavian-Dindo classification grade 3 or more in the two group was investigated, and the Controlling nutritional status scores(CONUT score) before and 1-year after surgery were compared to determine the long-term outcomes of exocrine function. RESULTS There was no difference in postoperative complications including POPF between the two groups(17.4% vs 5.1%, p = 0.294). And there were no statistical differences in either the MI-CP group (0.74 ± 0.75 vs. 0.78 ± 0.99, p = 0.803) or the MI-SpSTDP group (0.86 ± 0.83 to 0.61 ± 0.59, p = 0.071). CONCLUSIONS MI-CP had longer operation time and hospital stay and is safe and effective in preserving endocrine and exocrine functions in treatment of benign or borderline tumors located at the neck or proximal body of the pancreas.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To justify organ-preserving variants of total pancreatectomy. MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the results of classic and modified total pancreatectomy between September 2010 and March 2021. Implementing pylorus-sparing total pancreatectomy with preservation of stomach, spleen, gastric and splenic vessels, we thoroughly analyzed exocrine/endocrine disorders after total pancreatectomy and changes in immune status after splenectomy. Serum C-reactive protein and ferritin were assessed in 1, 3, 5, 7, 14 and 30 days after surgery in both groups. We also estimated daily glycemic profile after total pancreatectomy in classical and organ-preserving modifications. RESULTS We performed 37 total pancreatectomies including 12 pylorus-preserving total pancreatectomies with preservation of stomach, spleen, gastric and splenic vessels. General and specific postoperative complication rate was significantly lower after modified surgery compared to classic total pancreatectomy with gastric resection and splenectomy. CONCLUSION Modified total pancreatectomy is preferable for low-grade pancreatic tumors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Treatment of splenic trauma is currently based on non-surgical treatment or the use of interventional radiology. The conservative surgery of the spleen in splenic trauma remains marginal. OBJECTIVE To analyze the safety and efficacy of conservative surgical treatment in splenic trauma. METHOD A retrospective study was performed over a 16-year period with the intention of recording the diagnostic and therapeutic attitude in a second level hospital, focusing on patients who received conservative splenic surgical treatment for splenic trauma, excluding splenectomies and non-surgical treatment. RESULTS 110 patients presented splenic trauma. Spleen-sparing surgery was performed in 15 patients. The grades of splenic lesions were: 1 patient with grade I, 1 patient with grade II, 7 patients with grade III and 6 patients with grade IV. Surgical treatment was splenorrhaphy in 5 patients (33%), hemostatic agents and polyglycolic acid mesh in 4 (26%), partial splenectomy with placement of polyglycolic acid mesh in 3 (20%), partial splenectomy in 2 (13%), and electrocautery in 1 (6%). None of the patients initially treated with conservative surgery required posterior splenectomy and no patient died. CONCLUSION We provide evidence supporting the usefulness and safety of conservative splenic surgery in splenic trauma, which would have its place in grades II, III and IV trauma in health centers that do not have urgent interventional radiology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic splenectomy (LS) is considered the gold standard treatment in adults with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) refractory to medical therapy. However, the retrieval of the spleen in LS is still a technical challenge, despite the use of various commercial retrieval bags. This study reports the feasibility and reliability of using a saline bag for spleen retrieval in a reduced port splenectomy. METHODS Between 2007 and 2020, 55 consecutive patients underwent LS for ITP. Data were collected retrospectively. To retrieve the spleen, a 1 liter sterile saline bag was used. RESULTS Fifty-five patients underwent LS. There was only one complication related to the saline bag: an iatrogenic ileal injury during the morselization process. CONCLUSION One-liter saline bag is feasible, and widely available. No additional instruments or cost is required and there is no need to extend the wound for spleen retrieval during LS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Splenogonadal fusion is a rare congenital anomaly. The aim of this study was to report a case of splenogonadal fusion mimicking a spermatic cord cyst, and discuss therapeutic management of this rare congenital malformation. OBSERVATION An eight-years old patient was presented with an asymptomatic three-centimeter oval scrotal mass mistaken for a spermatic cord cyst. Surgical exploration has revealed tow purple-red, firm encapsulated masses. The first mass was two cm long and adherent to the upper pole of the left testis with a cleavage plane. The second mass was four cm long, attached to the first by a fibrous cord and drawn on its superior pole by a serpiginous vascular structure that extended inside the abdomen. The spermatic cord was individualized. Extemporaneous anatomopathological examination of the first mass, totally excised, has concluded to benign lesion. Therefore, the peritoneum was opened, and the superior mass was excised as high as it could be reached without orchiectomy. Definitive Anatomopathological examination concluded to an ectopic splenic tissue. The final diagnosis was a continuous splenogonadal fusion. CONCLUSION This case highlights the clinical characteristics of this condition, with a special focus on the signs and findings that might help prevent unnecessary orchiectomy. Consequently, it is essential to include this malformation in the differential diagnosis of scrotal masses in children.

Abstract
To investigate the changes to the myocardial enzyme profile and its clinical value in patients with different degrees of spleen injury. Of all patients who underwent total splenectomy due to trauma-induced spleen injury from January 2019 to January 2022 were selected, 70 patients with grade III and IV spleen injuries were selected as the experimental group. In addition, 70 patients with grade I and II were selected as control group 1, and another 70 patients as control group 2. The levels of creatine kinase (CK), creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the 3 groups were detected before (T0) and on the 1st day (T1) after surgery, on the 3rd day (T2) and on the 7th day (T3) after surgery, and on the 14th day (T4) after surgery, respectively, to analyze the relationship with the severity of spleen injury. The spleen injury experimental group, control group 1, and control group 2 were all cured and discharged after corresponding treatment, and there was no myocardial infarction within 3 months of hospitalization and discharge follow-up. The experimental group had higher CK, CK-MB, and LDH than control group 1 and control group 2 at the same time point from T0 to T4 (P<.05); the CK and CK-MB of control group 1 were higher than those of control group 2 at the same time points from T0 to T4 (P < .05), the LDH at points T0 to T2 was higher than that of control group 2 (P < .05), and the LDH was lower at points T3 and T4. Compared with T0 in the same group, CK, CK-MB, and LDH at T1 to T4 in the 3 groups were all lower than those at T0 (P < .05). The early peripheral blood myocardial enzyme spectrum of patients with different degrees of spleen injury is increased, and the increase of myocardial enzyme spectrum is positively correlated with the severity of spleen injury, suggesting that patients with traumatic spleen injury may have myocardial damage in the early stage, and should be treated as soon as possible.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Robotic surgery may be advantageous for complex surgery. We aimed to compare the intraoperative and postoperative short-term outcomes of spleen-preserving splenic hilar lymphadenectomy (SPSHL) during robotic and laparoscopic total gastrectomy. METHODS From July 2016 to December 2020, the clinicopathological data of 115 patients who underwent robotic total gastrectomy combined with robotic SPSHL (RSPSHL) and 697 patients who underwent laparoscopic total gastrectomy combined with laparoscopic SPSHL (LSPSHL) were retrospectively analyzed. A 1:2 ratio propensity score matching (PSM) was used to balance the differences between the two groups to compare their outcomes. The Generic Error Rating Tool was used to evaluate the technical performance. RESULTS After PSM, the baseline preoperative characteristics of the 115 patients in the RSPSHL and 230 patients in the LSPSHL groups were balanced. The dissection time of the region of the splenic artery trunk (5.4 ± 1.9 min vs. 7.8 ± 3.6 min, P < 0.001), the estimated blood loss during SPSHL (9.6 ± 4.8 ml vs. 14.9 ± 7.8 ml, P < 0.001), and the average number of intraoperative technical errors during SPSHL (15.1 ± 3.4 times/case vs. 20.7 ± 4.3 times/case, P < 0.001) were significantly lower in the RSPSHL group than in the LSPSHL group. The RSPSHL group showed higher dissection rates of No. 10 (78.3% vs. 70.0%, P = 0.104) and No. 11d (54.8% vs. 40.4%, P = 0.012) lymph nodes and significantly improved postoperative recovery results in terms of times to ambulation, first flatus, and first intake (P < 0.05). The splenectomy rates of the two groups were similar (1.7% vs. 0.4%, P = 0.539), and there was no significant difference in morbidity and mortality within postoperative 30 days (13.0% vs. 15.2%, P = 0.589). CONCLUSION Compared to LSPSHL, RSPSHL has more advantages in terms of surgical qualities and postoperative recovery process with similar morbidity and mortality. For complex SPSHL, robotic surgery may be a better choice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several approaches have been reported during laparoscopic spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (LSPDP), such as medial, lateral, and posterior approaches. This study reports a tail-first approach that is mobilization of the pancreatic gland from tail to neck followed by division. The short-term outcomes are described. METHODS Cases which underwent LSPDP from 2014 to 2020 at Qilu Hospital of Shandong University were included. Clinical parameters were collected and analyzed. RESULTS One hundred five cases were collected, including 54 Kimura, 45 Warshaw, and 6 modified-Warshaw procedures. Seventy-seven patients (73.3%) underwent LSPDP by a tail-first approach (TFA-LSPDP) and 28 (26.7%) by a medial approach (M-LSPDP). Compared with the M-LSPDP, the TFA-LSPDP group had a lower incidence of splenic infraction (9.1 VS 25.0%, P = 0.05) and a higher frequency of Kimura procedure (55.8 VS 39.3%, P = 0.053). CONCLUSION TFA-LSPDP is feasible and safe for treatment of benign and low malignant lesions of the distal pancreas, which has a lower incidence of splenic infraction and a higher frequency of splenic vessel preservation compared with the traditional medial approach.

Abstract
The permanent risk of splenectomized patients to infectious complications, the most severe being overwhelming post splenectomy infection (OPSI), determined the search for solutions in order to diminish these evolutionary possibilities. Therefore, intraomental developsplenic autotransplantation seems to be a viable option which, according to some authors, would have beneficial effects by restoring (at least partially) the functions of the spleen. The article presents the current experience related to this procedure (principles of surgical technique, implant location, complications, post-procedural evaluation) in an attempt to bring it back to the attention of trauma / general surgery surgeons. The procedure is simple, fast and with minimal or no complications and should be applied after any post-traumatic splenectomy.

Abstract
Over the past decade there has been increasing support for a role of the immune system in the development of hypertension. Our lab has previously reported that female spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) have a blood pressure (BP)-dependent increase in anti-inflammatory renal regulatory T cells (Tregs), corresponding to lower BP compared with males. However, little is known regarding the mechanism for greater renal Tregs in females. The current study was designed to test the hypothesis that the greater relative abundance of renal Tregs in female SHR is due to greater Treg production. To test this hypothesis, T cell profiles were measured in the spleen by flow cytometry in male and female SHR at 5 and 14 weeks of age. Splenic Tregs did not differ between males and females, suggesting sex differences in renal Tregs is not due to differences in production. To assess the role of the spleen in sex differences in renal Tregs and BP control, rats were randomized to receive sham surgery (CON) or splenectomy (SPLNX) at 12 weeks of age and implanted with telemeters to measure BP. After 2 weeks, kidneys were harvested for flow cytometric analysis of T cells. Splenectomy increased BP in both sexes after 2 weeks. Renal Tregs decreased in both sexes after splenectomy, abolishing the sex differences in renal Tregs. In conclusion, splenic Tregs were comparable in male and female SHRs, suggesting that sex differences in renal Tregs is due to differences in renal Treg recruitment, not Treg production.

Abstract
Pancreatic endometriosis is an extremely rare condition, with only a few cases described in the literature. Definitive diagnosis is often difficult to elucidate and will almost always require biopsy or surgical resection. We present a case of a female in her early thirties with a well-known history of widespread endometriosis presenting with vague epigastric pain. CT imaging showed an 11 cm well-circumscribed simple-appearing cyst in the lessor sac. Its origin could not be determined preoperatively but it appeared to involve the parenchyma of the body of the pancreas. Due to the associated pain and indeterminate nature, subtotal surgical resection of the extrapancreatic cyst was performed with the intrapancreatic cyst being managed by a cystogastrostomy to the adjacent stomach in a planned pancreas-sparing procedure following intraoperative confirmation it was arising within the pancreas. Pathological evaluation of the resected cyst confirmed it to be an endometrial cyst. The cystogastrostomy anastomosis subsequently obstructed a few weeks postoperatively and symptoms recurred from cyst enlargement. Redo robotic resection with resection of the remnant cyst, cystogastrostomy and en bloc spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy was performed. The patient had an uneventful recovery. She has had no recurrence of cyst or symptoms since. A procedure video is included in the report.

Abstract
Portal hypertension (PHT) in children may be caused by many different liver and vascular diseases and can lead to life threatening complications such as splenomegaly with thrombocytopenia. The treatment of choice for symptomatic splenomegaly is Partial Splenic Embolization (PSE) which is effective but painful, and therefore not offered to children younger than 10 years of age at the Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm. Percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA) is a well-established method in adults for the treatment of tumors in the liver and other organs. It has been used for the treatment of secondary splenomegaly in adults, but to the best of our knowledge MWA for treatment of pediatric splenomegaly has not been studied. We present a successful case report of MWA of the spleen in a young boy with splenomegaly and thrombocytopenia due to liver cirrhosis and PHT.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the advantages and potential risks of "Non Operative Management" (NOM) in order to redifine the technique into the true gold standard and to extend its application to the emergency care of blunt splenic trauma. MATERIALS AND METHODS Blunt trauma cases treated between 2004 and 2019 have been retrospectively evaluated. Every patient has been distributed at the hospital admission in 3 different groups: stable, unstable and transient responder according to ATLS. NOM exclusion criteria were only introduced in 2013: we therefore assessed datas before and after this year. RESULTS Over a period of 15 years, approximately 6 patients per year were admitted to our hospital with a spleen injury. After the introduction of the NOM protocol in 2013, the proportion of splenectomies progressively decreased. This rate also increased for higher injury grades. The overall number of patients who underwent NOM was 40 (43%), but while between 2004 and 2012 only 25% of patients were managed with NOM, between 2013 and 2019 70.3% of patients were treated with NOM. CONCLUSIONS Nowadays any blunt splenic trauma could, theoretically, undergo NOM, regardless of the grade of the injury; the only strict criteria for OM should be haemodynamic instability; this assumption depends, of course, on hospital's human and technological resources.

Abstract
Neural stem cell (NSC) therapy is a promising therapeutic strategy for stroke. Researchers have frequently carried out genetic modification or gene editing of stem cells to improve survival or therapeutic function. However, NSC transplantation carries the risk of immune rejection, and genetic modification or gene-editing might further increase this risk. For instance, recent studies have reported on manipulating the stem cell genome and transplantation via the insertion of an exogenous gene derived from magnetotactic bacteria. However, whether transgene-modified stem cells are capable of inducing immunological reactions has not been explored. Although NSCs rarely express the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), they can still cause some immunological issues. To investigate whether transgene-modified NSCs aggravate immunological responses, we detected the changes in peripheral immune organs and intracerebral astrocytes, glial cells, and MHC-I and MHC-II molecules after the injection of GFP-labeled or mms6-GFP-labeled NSCs in a rat model. Xenogeneic human embryonic kidney (HEK-293T) cells were grafted as a positive control group. Our results indicated that xenogeneic cell transplantation resulted in a strong peripheral splenic response, increased astrocytes, enhanced microglial responses, and upregulation of MHC-I and MHC-II expression on the third day of transplantation. But they decreased obviously except Iba-1 positive cells and MHC-II expression. When injection of both mms6-GFP-labeled NSCs and GFP-labeled NSCs also induced similar responses as HEK-293T cells on the third days, but MHC-I and MHC-II expression decreased 3 weeks after transplantation. In addition, mms6 transgene-modified NSCs did not produce peripheral splenic response responses as well as astrocytes, microglial cells, MHC-I and MHC-II positive cells responses when compared with non-modified NSCs. The present study provides preliminary evidence that transgenic modification does not aggravate immunological responses in NSC transplantation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation (SANT) of the spleen is a non-tumorous benign lesion that originates in the spleen and It is rare. CASE PRESENTATION A 59-year-old man visited his physician for a checkup. Ultrasonography showed a mass in the spleen, and the patient was referred to our hospital. He tested negative for tumor markers and soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R). Abdominal computed tomography revealed a 51-mm hypovascular mass that was slowly enhanced from the portal venous to the equilibrium phases, at the inferior extremity of the spleen. Abdominal magnetic resonance imaging showed a spoke-wheel pattern. Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography indicated a mild tumor accumulation, with a standardized uptake value max of 5.3. These results led to the suspicion of SANT, angioma, and angiosarcoma. Because the onset of malignant diseases could not be excluded, laparoscopic splenectomy was performed. A brown, round mass, without a capsule but with clear boundaries, was macroscopically observed on the cut surface. In addition, white fibrosis was found in the mass. Histopathological examination revealed nodular angioma lesions, and the proliferation of fibrotic interstices and inflammatory cells was observed between the lesions. Immunohistological examination revealed proliferation in the 3 types of narrow capillaries inside angiomatoid nodules;CD31+/CD34+/CD8-, CD31+/CD34-/CD8+, and CD31+/CD34-/CD8- cells; therefore, the patient was diagnosed with SANT. CONCLUSIONS Here, we reported one patient who developed the typical symptoms of SANT. SANT is easily diagnosed by histopathological examination; however, its causes remain unknown. More cases with SANT are required for further analysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The spleen is an important contributor to the uncontrolled, excessive release of proinflammatory signals during sepsis that leads to the development of tissue injury and diffuse end-organ dysfunction. Therapeutic pulsed ultrasound (pUS) has been shown to inhibit splenic leukocyte release and reduce cytokine production in other inflammatory disease processes. We hypothesized that pUS treatment inhibits spleen-derived inflammatory responses and increases survival duration in rats with severe intra-abdominal sepsis leading to septic shock. MATERIALS AND METHODS Rats with intra-abdominal sepsis, induced by cecal ligation and incision, underwent abdominal washout, intra-peritoneal administration of cefazolin, and then either no further treatment (control), splenectomy, or pUS of the spleen. Animals were observed for the primary endpoint of survival duration. RESULTS Survival curves were significantly different for all groups (P < 0.01). Median survival increased from 9.5 h in control rats to 19.8 h in pUS rats and 35.0 h in splenectomy rats (P < 0.01). At 4 h after cecal ligation and incision, the pUS group had decreased splenic contraction and leukocyte count (P = 0.03) compared with control, indicating reduced exodus of splenic leukocytes. In addition, elevation in plasma TNF-α and MCP-1 was significantly attenuated in the pUS group (P < 0.05 versus control). Splenic β2 adrenergic receptor levels and phosphorylated Akt were significantly more elevated in the pUS group (P < 0.01 versus control). CONCLUSIONS pUS significantly prolonged the survival duration of rats with severe intra-abdominal sepsis. This treatment may be an effective, noninvasive therapy that dampens detrimental immune responses during septic shock by activating β2 adrenergic receptor-Akt phosphorylation in the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway.
