We describe the clinical course of 23 patients considered for laparoscopic splenectomy. One patient was excluded on the basis of preoperative angiography findings, and two (9%) were converted to open surgery. In the remaining 20 patients who successfully underwent laparoscopic splenectomy, no mortality was reported; four postoperative complications (20%

To the Editor.— Juan F. Jaramillo, MD, and Leroy C. Barry, MD (243:1656, 1980), advocated repair for the traumatic spleen in agnogenic myeloid metaplasia because of the operative and some postoperative complications. However, they did not mention the real risk of grave and often fatal course of certain blood born infections, especially pneumococcemia,

Laparoscopic splenectomy was attempted in 16 patients and was performed successfully in 13 (81%) patients with the diagnosis of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), AIDS-related thrombocytopenia, Hodgkin's disease, or lymphoma. The operative time averaged 157 min, and autologous transfusion was required in four patients.

Splenectomy for thrombocytopenia
World Journal of Surgery, 1985AbstractThe effects of splenectomy in 49 thrombocytopenic patients managed since 1979 were assessed and compared with our previous experience of 174 patients. Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) constitutes a common indication for splenectomy, which effects a cure in 86% of these patients.

Dramatic decreases in length of hospital stay and time to complete recovery with laparoscopic cholecystectomy have led to the development of more advanced laparoscopic procedures. The rationale, technique, and early results with laparoscopic splenectomy are described in this article. Laparoscopic splenectomy is a complex procedure with a real potential

SUMMARY Splenectomy was successfully performed on 2 aged horses to facilitate experimental studies of Babesia equi infection. Resection of part of the 17th rib provided the most acceptable approach and avoided many complications encountered on removing part of the 16th rib.

Surgical removal of the spleen is a well established procedure which is indicated for various hematologic disorders. Patients who are poor surgical risks may be considered for nonsurgical "splenectomy* using an embolization technique. This new technique should only be performed in patients who represent high surgical risk. The possible effectiveness of

In the last two decades, physicians have become more aware of the spleen's role in natural immunity. The spleen is composed of two distinct but interrelated compartments. Fixed phagocytes of the reticuloendothelial system (RES) reside in the red pulp while lymphoid tissue is found in the follicles and periarteriolar sheaths of the white pulp. These two
