- W2023495199 abstract "Wandering spleen is an uncommon diagnosis and has been rarely described in children. A review of the English literature yielded 35 reported cases in children <10 years of age. Eighteen (51%) presented as acute surgical emergencies, only eight of which had the correct diagnosis of pedicle torsion with splenic infarction established preoperatively. Thirteen patients underwent an elective laparotomy, either for chronic symptoms related to their wandering spleen or for an abdominal mass. Of the 13 patients electively managed, nine underwent a splenectomy while five were treated successfully with splenopexy. The remaining four patients were managed conservatively without surgical intervention. In only one third of the patients presenting as acute surgical emergencies was there any history of intermittent abdominal pain or of a previous abdominal mass. No deaths were reported. Males represented 63% of the patients. The occurrence was most common in patients <1 year of age, with a 6:1 male predominance in this age category. All acute cases of wandering spleen in which splenic infarction has occurred require splenectomy. However, in patients with chronic symptoms or in whom the diagnosis is made prior to splenic infarction, splenopexy should be the treatment of choice. Past recommendations of splenectomy or conservative nonsurgical management are not indicated. Literature on pediatric wandering spleen is reviewed herein, and a technique for splenopexy using Dexon mesh is described.
