The present report describes the case of a patient who underwent SSRF with VATS and subsequently developed a splenic rupture that was speculated to be related to intrathoracic manipulation during surgery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Presentation of case:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 62-year-old male patient sustained injuries from a fallen festival car over his thoracoabdominal zone and was diagnosed with bilateral multiple rib fractures and burst fractures of the twelfth thoracic and first lumbar vertebrae. The patient underwent SSRF with VATS. Following surgery, the patient went into hemorrhagic shock due to a splenic rupture, necessitating an emergency open splenectomy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Despite no initial detection of splenic injury on contrast-enhanced CT, it is possible that a slight splenic injury existed at the time of the initial diagnosis. Moreover, during surgery, additional external forces may have been applied to the spleen due to positional changes, such as shifting to the lateral position or retracting the diaphragm using forceps; these manipulations could have potentially caused a slight splenic injury, possibly leading to splenic rupture.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>When performing SSRF through VATS, it is important to recognize that manipulation and traction of the diaphragm could potentially cause splenic rupture, even if a slight force is applied. Therefore, the diaphragm should be evaluated without traction and manipulation whenever possible.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Highlights<\/jats:title>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2024.109758","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,14]],"date-time":"2024-05-14T12:30:24Z","timestamp":1715689824000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Splenic rupture after surgical fixation of rib fractures with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery: A case report"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"119","author":[{"given":"Hiroyuki","family":"Kayata","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nobutaka","family":"Mukai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Trauma and Critical Care Medicine, Sakai City Medical Center, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Naoki","family":"Ikeda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of General Thoracic Surgery, Sakai City Medical Center, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yumiko","family":"Yasuhara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Sakai City Medical Center, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Akihiro","family":"Usui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Trauma and Critical Care Medicine, Sakai City Medical Center, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Masanori","family":"Morita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Trauma and Critical Care Medicine, Sakai City Medical Center, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-95-20260422","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"265","DOI":"10.1007\/s00068-020-01412-2","article-title":"Epidemiology and outcome of rib fractures: a nationwide study in the Netherlands","volume":"48","author":"Peek","year":"2022","journal-title":"Eur.
