Focal splenic lesions (e.g., cysts, tumors, or abscesses) 2. Traumatic splenic injury with localized damage 3. Splenic infarction (tissue death) due to vascular occlusion Surgical technique: 1. Open or laparoscopic approach 2. Identification and isolation of the affected segment 3. Ligation of blood vessels and splenic vessels supplying the segment 4. Resection of the diseased portion, using stapling or suturing techniques 5. Preservation of the remaining spleen tissue and its blood supply Benefits: 1. Preservation of splenic function and immune competence 2. Reduced risk of overwhelming post-splenectomy infection (OPSI) 3. Minimized risk of sepsis 4. Faster recovery compared to total splenectomy Risks and complications: 1. Bleeding or hematoma 2. Infection or abscess 3. Splenic insufficiency or dysfunction 4. Adhesions or bowel obstruction 5. Pancreatic injury or fistula Post-operative care: 1. Monitoring for bleeding, infection, or other complications 2. Pain management 3. Antibiotic prophylaxis 4. Follow-up imaging studies to ensure adequate splenic function Segmental resection is a complex procedure requiring expertise in splenic surgery.
