Abstract:
Presented here is a case report of laparoscopic fenestration of a symptomatic, nonparasitic splenic cyst. Technical aspects of the procedure are discussed along with a review of the literature. The laparoscopic approach to splenic cysts offers many advantages over traditional open procedures and may be the treatment of choice for this rare clinical problem.
