Splenic rupture after colorectal cancer screening.
2015
The number of colonoscopies performed in recent years is increasing dramatically, specially those related to colorectal cancer screening programmes. For this reason, there is a direct relationship with the number of exceptional complications such as splenic rupture. We describe a clinical case of a splenic rupture with hemodynamic instability. Consequently, an emergency splenectomy was performed 6 hours after the colonoscopy was finished. Health staff should be aware of its existence, as an early reaction will avoid more severe problems.
