Abstract
Laparoscopic splenectomy can be considered as a safe and
efficacious procedure. We believe that laparoscopic splenectomy will
be the preferred method of splenic removal for elective conditions.
Hand-assisted laparoscopic splenectomy may be useful in cases of
significant splenomegaly.
Not only it has the benefits of less pain, shorter hospital stay and
faster recuperation, but also it gives excellent access and control of
the vasculature of spleen especially in expert hands.
Open splenectomy is reserved for trauma, extreme splenomegaly
and at the discretion of the surgeon.
Attention to preoperative preparation, meticulous technique and
careful postoperative care allow excellent results for these
procedures..
