Article Abstract
Background: Splenic abscess is a serious complication associated with infective endocarditis. There is still contradicting evidence regarding the optimal treatment pathway including timing of valve intervention and the approach for managing splenic foci.
Case Presentation: We present a case of a hybrid staged approach in which we successfully performed a laparoscopic splenectomy following percutaneous abscess drainage and a delayed aortic valve replacement.
Conclusions: A multidisciplinary teamwork is fundamental in providing optimal care for patients with distant complications associated with infective endocarditis. Our hybrid approach seems safe and feasible.

Background: Spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy by robotic surgery is a safe and feasible surgical technique. Currently, spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy represents an alternative to the classical distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy, in the case of benign and low-grade malignant diseases of the body or pancreas tail. The reasons for preserving the spleen are based on the reduction of postoperative complications, such as post-splenectomy infections, subphrenic abscess, portal thrombosis, pulmonary hypertension, thrombocytosis, and thromboembolism.

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement is a well-established intervention for portal hypertension. However, some patients experience persistent complications such as encephalopathy, ascites, or thrombocytopenia, especially when further TIPS optimization is not technically possible. Partial splenic embolization (PSE), typically performed for hypersplenism or certain hematologic conditions, can reduce portal venous inflow and improve cytopenias; however, its use as an adjunct to TIPS is less well described.

Introduction: Targeted infection imaging is crucial for accurate diagnosis in postpartum women. This project uses 99mTc-labeled cefixime to develop a radiopharmaceutical for detecting, distinguishing, and treating infections and abscesses in women.
Method: Technetium (TcO4-) chelated with cefixime, reduced by stannous chloride, confirmed via thin-layer chromatography.

Gastrosplenic fistula is a rare complication, most often secondary to gastric or splenic lymphoma. Severe gastrosplenic fistula can cause life-threatening upper gastrointestinal bleeding, making early diagnosis and intervention critical for a favorable prognosis. Currently, surgical intervention remains the primary treatment; however, outcomes are often suboptimal.

Splenic abscesses are rare but potentially fatal infections, particularly in individuals with diabetes mellitus. Management strategies vary based on the abscess size, complexity, and response to the initial treatment. We report five patients with diabetes and splenic abscesses who were managed at a tertiary care centre.
