What Is a Wandering Spleen?
A wandering spleen is caused by a failure of fusion of the dorsal meso gastrium, leading to a lack of splenic ligaments. In all these patients should have wristbands that say that they've had a splenect me. And additionally, they should all have a prescription of anibiotics at home in case they do start developing signs of fever or infection. But you might consider giving prophylactic antibiotics.
