Spontaneous gastrosplenic fistula as a result of splenic abcess has not been reported in the literature so far.

“…A pesar de ser una técnica relativamente nueva, dentro de las complicaciones que se mencionan en diversos estudios sobre manga gástrica laparoscópica, estos concuerdan en que su prevalencia es baja (4,5-9,4%) 18,1-,20 y depende -teóricamente-de la habilidad quirúrgica, presencia de adherencias por cirugías previas y la necesidad de reintervención, factores por lo demás encontrados en este caso. En líneas generales, a corto plazo destacan como principales complicaciones la reintervención 19 , filtración de sitio operatorio 19 , fístula gástrica 18 y formación de abscesos 20 , no encontrándose reporte alguno de un completo infarto, infección y licuefacción del bazo así como su comunicación posterior con el remanente gástrico 16 . Por otro lado, sólo Fuks y cols 18 señalaron una posible asociación entre la aparición de fístula gástrica y un iMc > 60, pero no demostrado estadísticamente.…”
