Laparoscopic splenectomy (LS) is a standard surgical approach for hematologic diseases, offering reduced hospital stays and improved quality of life compared to open surgery. This minimally invasive technique is increasingly preferred, even for complex cases.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Hematology

Background:

  • Laparoscopic splenectomy (LS) is the standard surgical approach for hematologic diseases, despite limited high-level evidence.
  • The procedure demands specialized laparoscopic skills and careful splenic dissection.
  • Preoperative assessment, vaccination, and perioperative management are crucial for successful outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current evidence and practice of laparoscopic splenectomy.
  • To highlight the benefits and considerations for this surgical approach.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on laparoscopic splenectomy.
  • Discussion of preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative management strategies.
  • Comparison of laparoscopic versus open splenectomy outcomes.

Main Results:

  • LS is associated with low morbidity and mortality.
  • Compared to laparotomy, LS reduces hospital stay, postoperative ileus, and pain.
  • Advancements in laparoscopic techniques and devices enhance its applicability, even in malignant hematologic diseases and massive splenomegaly.

Conclusions:

  • Laparoscopic splenectomy is a safe and effective procedure for various hematologic conditions.
  • It offers significant advantages over open surgery, including faster recovery and better patient quality of life.
  • Continued advancements support its role as the preferred splenectomy approach.
