Abstract: Objective: To investigate the value of multislice computed tomography(MSCT) diagnosing the complications following splenectomy.Methods: Retrospectively analyzed the abdominal MSCT appearances of 151 patients who had undergone full splenectomy in our hospital during January 2009 to December 2012.Results: Postoperative complications occurred in 60 patients(39.7%),including short-term complications(51 patients) and long-term complications(9 patients).Short-term complications: Wound infection(2 patients),incisional hernia(1 patients),subphrenic abscess(8 patients),pleural effusion and atelectasis(21 patients),thrombosis of vein(14 patients),Long-term complications: cavernous transformation of the portal(1 patients) and ectopic splenic autotransplantation(8 patients).Conclusion: MSCT is the optimal method on discovering the various imaging findings of postoperative complications following splenectomy.
