Area of Science:

Gastroenterology and Surgical Innovation
Bariatric Surgery Complications
Infectious Disease Management

Background:

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is a common bariatric procedure.
Splenic abscess is an exceptionally rare but serious complication post-LSG.
Early diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial for patient outcomes.

Observation:

A 21-year-old male developed a splenic abscess three weeks after LSG.
Clinical symptoms included fever, leukocytosis, and abdominal pain.
Computed Tomography (CT) scan confirmed the splenic abscess diagnosis.

Findings:

The patient's splenic abscess was successfully treated conservatively.
Treatment involved intravenous antibiotics and percutaneous drainage.
This represents the thirteenth reported case of splenic abscess after LSG.

Implications:

Conservative management is a viable option for splenic abscess post-LSG.
Highlights the importance of considering splenic abscess in patients with relevant symptoms after LSG.
Contributes to the limited literature on managing this rare complication.
