Laparoscopic splenectomy
Keywords:
Laparoscopy, SplenectomyAbstract
Laparoscopic splenectomy is now becoming the procedure of choice for elective splenectomy wherever the expertise is available. Initially laparoscopic Splenectomy was performed only for benign hematological conditions, but now with the advancement of technology its use has been extended to massive splenomegaly, other benign conditions and infective pathologies of the spleen and also in cirrhosis of liver with portal hypertension. Extensive search has been made on internet websites. Reasons for review are the paucity of literature, wide acceptance to the procedure as the method of choice for elective splenectomy, to assess the feasibility of the procedure and also to expand the uses of laparoscopic splenectomy.
