Abstract
Gastrosplenic fistula is a rare complication of gastric or splenic lymphoma. Here we report the case of a 48 years old man who developed a gastrosplenic fistula secondary to splenic diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, successfully managed with hand-assisted laparoscopic splenectomy and gastric wedge resection. A review of the available literature is also presented, 33 cases of gastrosplenic fistula associated to gastric or splenic lymphoma were found, of which 25 were treated surgically. This case represents the first report of laparoscopic treatment of lymphoma-related gastrosplenic fistula described to our knowledge in the available literature.
期刊介绍:
Laparoscopic, Endoscopic and Robotic Surgery aims to provide an academic exchange platform for minimally invasive surgery at an international level. We seek out and publish the excellent original articles, reviews and editorials as well as exciting new techniques to promote the academic development.
Topics of interests include, but are not limited to:
▪ Minimally invasive clinical research mainly in General Surgery, Thoracic Surgery, Urology, Neurosurgery, Gynecology & Obstetrics, Gastroenterology, Orthopedics, Colorectal Surgery, Otolaryngology, etc.;
▪ Basic research in minimally invasive surgery;
▪ Research of techniques and equipments in minimally invasive surgery, and application of laparoscopy, endoscopy, robot and medical imaging;
▪ Development of medical education in minimally invasive surgery.
