Abstract:
Objective:To study the feasibility and efficacy of the modified posterolateral laparoscopic approach for resection of massive splenomegaly.Methods:The data of 48 patients who underwent laparoscopic splenectomy for massive splenomegaly at the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University (Wuxi 4th People's Hospital) from January 2016 to July 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 29 males and 19 females, with an average age of 55.8 years. These 48 patients were divided into two groups according to the operative approach, the study group ( n=26) using the modified posterolateral approach which treated the splenic pedicle as the last step; and the control group ( n=22) which used the posterior tunnel of splenic pedicle established by anterior approach to treat the splenic pedicle first. The operation time, gastrointestinal function, recovery time, intraoperative blood loss, rates of conversion to laparotomy and postoperative complications were compared between two groups. The follow-up data were also analyzed. Results:There were no significant differences in operation gastrointestinal function recovery and hospitalization time between the two groups (all P>0.05). The intraoperative blood loss, numbers of patients with convention to open surgery and intraoperative blood transfusion, were (50.2±15.1) ml vs (160.1±40.3) ml, 2 patients (7.7%) vs 7 patients (31.8%), and 1 patients (3.8%) vs 5 patients (22.7%), in study group and control group respectively. The differences between groups were significant (all P<0.05). The complications of the study group and control group were 9 patients (34.6%) vs 13 patients (59.1%), which were significantly in the two groups ( P<0.05). On follow-up which ranged from 1 to 15 months, the numbers of patients with thrombocytosis and portal vein thrombosis in the study group and the control group were 20 patients (76.9%) vs 17 patients (77.3%), and 7 patients (26.9%) vs 6 patients (27.3%), respectively. Conclusion:The modified posterolateral laparoscopic approach for resection of massive splenomegaly was safe and feasible. It should be promoted to treat massive splenomegaly.
