Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of laparoscopic splenectomy(LS). Methods In this study 41 cases were enrolled including 10 cirrhotic splenomegaly cases and 17 idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura cases. The clinical data of 41 cases undergoing LS was retrospectively reviewed. KG2Result Two cases were shifted to open surgery, LS was successful in 39 cases with average operating time of 238 min, the average spleen weight was 389 g, blood loss 318 ml, postoperative GI movement started from 12 to 24 hrs. The average postoperative hospital stay was 4 days. Postoperative complications occurred in 3 cases including intraabdominal bleeding, subcutaneous emphysema, and stabbing-caused abdominal wall bleeding in one each. Conclusion LS is safe and less traumatic in selected patients indicated for splenectomy, especially for those suffering from haemotologic diseases.
