Abstract
Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG) is the most commonly performed bariatric procedure in the management of morbid obesity. Post-operative splenic injury is a rare complication, and commonly seen as a delayed condition after surgery. We report the first documented case of spontaneous splenic rupture two days after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
