Reduced port laparoscopic splenectomy is a safe and feasible minimally invasive technique for giant spleen cysts. This approach offers potential benefits like reduced trauma and faster recovery.
Area of Science:
- Minimally invasive surgery
- Surgical techniques
- Gastrointestinal surgery
Background:
- Laparoscopic splenectomy, first performed in 1991, is a common laparoscopic solid organ procedure.
- This study demonstrates a reduced port laparoscopic splenectomy technique.
Observation:
- A 15-year-old female presented with abdominal pain due to a giant spleen cyst.
- Imaging revealed a large cyst compressing the stomach.
Findings:
- A reduced port laparoscopic splenectomy was successfully performed using one 10 mm and two 5 mm trocars.
- The spleen was morcellated and retrieved via the umbilical incision.
- The patient experienced an unremarkable postoperative course and was discharged within 72 hours.
Implications:
- Reduced port surgery minimizes abdominal trauma.
- Potential benefits include shorter hospital stays, improved pain management, and enhanced cosmesis.
- Laparoscopic splenectomy for giant spleen cysts using reduced port trocars is safe, feasible, and less invasive.
