This study introduces a safe and effective laparoscopic partial splenectomy technique, preserving spleen function. The method uses detachable clamps and sealing agents, minimizing blood loss and ensuring quick recovery for localized spleen diseases.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Laparoscopic total splenectomy is standard, but spleen preservation is crucial for immune function against infections like pneumonia.
  • Laparoscopic partial splenectomy is less common due to challenges in controlling parenchymal bleeding during splenic transection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel technique for laparoscopic partial splenectomy.
  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of this spleen-preserving approach for localized splenic pathologies.

Main Methods:

  • A case series detailing laparoscopic partial splenectomies using temporary detachable clips on the splenic artery and vein.
  • Spleen transection was performed using LigaSure™, with the margin sealed by collagen fleece.
  • One case involved pre-surgical radiological coil embolization of feeding arteries for a splenic hemangioma.

Application of Laparoscopic Partial Splenectomy with Total Blood Flow Occlusion in Benign Splenic Lesions

Published on: December 20, 2024

Main Results:

  • Three patients (2 male, 1 female, mean age 58.3 years) underwent successful procedures.
  • Minimal blood loss occurred, negating the need for transfusions; patients recovered uneventfully and were discharged in 5 days.
  • Histopathology revealed benign splenic hemangioma, benign splenic hamartoma, and Hodgkin's disease stage III.

Conclusions:

  • Laparoscopic partial splenectomy, with optional pre-surgical embolization, is a safe and effective method for localized spleen diseases.
  • This technique combines minimally invasive benefits with significant splenic tissue preservation, maintaining crucial immune function.
