Laparoscopic Partial Splenectomy

Journal of the American College of Surgeons, 2007
p o w ( b t s I P a o p w T b s w w t F ntraparenchymal lesions in the spleen are rare entities and re based mainly on parasitic and nonparasitic cysts. Alhough parasitic cysts are generally common and caused by chinococcus (hydatide cysts) in almost two-thirds of cases, onparasitic cysts are found predominantly in Central Euope and North America ...

Laparoscopic Partial Splenectomy

2021
Spleen is a critical immune organ with anti-infection and immune functions. Overwhelming post-splenectomy infection (OPSI) is a deadly infection due to weakened immunity after splenectomy, and the pathogenic bacteria mainly include Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae type B, and Neisseria meningitidis.

Partial Splenectomy for Hereditary Spherocytosis

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 2008
The significant risks associated with total splenectomy have led to interest in the use of partial splenectomy as an alternative surgical therapy for children who have congenital hemolytic anemia. Partial splenectomy is designed to remove enough spleen to gain desired hematologic outcomes while preserving splenic immune function.

Partial splenectomy in Gaucher's disease

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1986
In 11 children with hypersplenism due to Gaucher's disease, partial splenectomy was planned with the aim to prevent the development of postsplenectomy sepsis and also to slow the advance of the disease in the rest of the reticuloendothelial system by permitting continuing accumulation of the beta-glucocerebroside in the remaining splenic tissue.

Technique for Laparoscopic Partial Splenectomy

Surgical Laparoscopy, Endoscopy & Percutaneous Techniques, 2000
Splenic preservation and conservative management are now accepted norms when dealing with splenic pathologic conditions. This case report describes the technique of laparoscopic partial splenectomy for an undiagnosed splenic lesion. A thorough understanding of splenic anatomy permits laparoscopic partial splenectomy with the resultant benefits ...

Robot-assisted Partial Splenectomy

Journal of Visualized Experiments
Partial splenectomy (PS) has emerged as a viable alternative to total splenectomy for the management of benign splenic lesions, aiming to preserve immunological function while minimizing surgical morbidity. Robot-assisted surgery facilitates PS by providing three-dimensional visualization and precise dissection, leading to improved hemostatic control ...

Experimental Study of the Effects of Splenectomy and Partial Splenectomy on Bacterial Translocation

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1999
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of splenectomy and partial splenectomy in a burn-induced bacterial translocation model and to study Kupffer cell (KC) morphology and number.Mice were divided into sham-burn and burn groups. Each group was also subdivided to sham-splenectomy, partial-splenectomy, and splenectomy subgroups.

Laparoscopic partial splenectomy for a splenic pseudocyst

Surgical Endoscopy, 2003
We describe a laparoscopic hemisplenectomy that was performed to treat a 21-year-old patient with a large splenic pseudocyst located in the upper splenic pole. The diagnosis was made by computed tomography and ultrasound, and surgery was performed with ultrasound scalpel, clips, and fibrin glue.

Partial splenectomy and overwhelming infection in rats

Journal of Surgical Research, 1982
Susceptibility to overwhelming sepsis in rats was measured by intravenous Streptococcus pneumoniae challenge 5 weeks after removal of 25, 50, or 75% of the spleen, with sham splenectomy and total splenectomy groups included for comparison. The LD50 (given in organisms per animal) for total splenectomy was 1.02 × 103, for 75% splenectomy, 1.79 × 104 ...

Partial splenectomy in children: An alternative for splenectomy in the pathological staging of Hodgkin's disease

Annals of Surgical Oncology, 1994
The more accurate staging of Hodgkin's disease in children is achieved with a staging laparotomy and splenectomy. A disadvantage of the splenectomy is the high risk for an overwhelming postsplenectomy sepsis (OPSI). Therefore, the partial splenectomy was introduced as an alternative to splenectomy in the staging of Hodgkin's diseases in children.During
