    Transcatheter splenic embolization (TSE) poses significant risks and complications in children, often failing to provide long-term benefits. Primary splenectomy is recommended for most children with hematologic disorders and hypersplenism due to TSE

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Interventional Radiology
    • Hematology

    Background:

    • Splenectomy is often indicated for children with hematologic disorders and hypersplenism.
    • Transcatheter splenic embolization (TSE) emerged as a less invasive alternative to splenectomy.
    • Concerns regarding operative risk for splenectomy prompted exploration of TSE.

    Observation:

    • A case of acute subcapsular hematoma post-TSE complicated by emergency splenectomy was reviewed.
    • TSE is associated with considerable morbidity, including diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
    • Life-threatening sequelae can arise from TSE, necessitating cautious application.

    Findings:

    • TSE frequently fails to achieve desired long-term hematologic improvement.
    • The procedure carries significant risks and complications, potentially worsening patient management.

  • Morbidity associated with TSE outweighs its theoretical benefits in many pediatric cases.

    • Implications:

    • Primary splenectomy, with meticulous technique and blood component management, is advised for most pediatric cases requiring spleen removal.
    • TSE should be used with considerable restraint due to its associated risks and limited efficacy.
    • Further research into optimizing surgical approaches for pediatric splenectomy is warranted.
