Laparoscopic splenectomy can be taught and performed safely. It presents less significant morbidity than does open surgery, and efficacy in the control of hematologic disease is comparable while offering the proven benefits of the minimally invasive approach. Laparoscopic splenectomy for selected hematologic disorders should replace open splenectomy as

Surgical removal of the spleen, splenectomy, is a procedure that has significantly decreased in frequency as our understanding of the infectious complications of the asplenic state increased. The full spectrum and details of splenic function, however, have yet to be fully outlined.

The laparoscopic technique for splenectomy has become the preferred method for splenectomy at many institutions over the last 10 years. The advantages of laparoscopic splenectomy include a shortened postoperative hospitalization, improved cosmesis, and less analgesic requirements.

Surgical Endoscopy, 1994
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.

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 The usual causes of tropical splenomegaly in West Africa are mentioned. Splenectomy as a means of relieving pain and discomfort, and improving general health in certain chronic cases, is discussed. Pronounced sickling of the red cells in two instances suggests a possible contributory role by this trait in splenic enlargement among negroes ...

The role of the spleen in antibody formation and its relationship to the immune status of the individual remains in question. Prior to 1952 it had been felt that there was no inherent danger in removing the spleen, either because of surgical necessity due to trauma or as a means of affecting a clinical cure in various hematologic diseases that are ...

A case of primary myelosclerosis is described which showed a rise in the haemoglobin level after splenectomy. This improvement was maintained until the patient died three years later of intestinal haemorrhage from a gastric ulcer.
