Abstract EN
Splenic abscess is a very rare complication of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG).
Clinical presentation includes fever, leucocystosis, and abdominal pain.
CT SCAN is a must for diagnosis.
The preferred treatment is either conservative, with intravenous antibiotics and percutaneous drainage, or splenectomy.
We report the thirteen case of a splenic abscess after LSG.
In our patient, the abscess occurred three weeks after LSG in a 21-year-old man, and it was successfully treated conservatively.
