Splenic abscess: is conservation applicable?

Department of Surgery, Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary.

Abstract

A rare occurrence of salmonella abscess in a congenital cyst of the spleen is presented. Although splenectomy was curative, the role of splenic salvage is discussed. Percutaneous drainage is curative in about 70% of cases and may be the treatment of choice in solitary thick-walled abscesses. It should be remembered, however, that residual or regenerated splenic tissue is no absolute guarantee against sepsis. The treatment of splenic abscess should be individualised.
