Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Laparoscopic splenectomy is increasingly preferred over open surgery in pediatric patients.
  • Advancements in techniques and devices have expanded indications for laparoscopic splenectomy.
  • Preoperative evaluation is crucial, considering factors like cholecystic lithiasis, hemoglobin levels in sickle cell anemia (SCA), platelet counts in immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), and vaccination status.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic splenectomy in pediatric patients.
  • To compare laparoscopic splenectomy with traditional open surgery in children.
  • To highlight the advantages of minimally invasive approaches in pediatric splenectomy.

Main Methods:

  • Review of 8 pediatric splenomegaly cases treated over four years.
  • Application of lateral videolaparoscopic splenectomy (7 cases) and anterior approach (1 case).
  • Standard preoperative assessments including imaging and laboratory tests.

Main Results:

  • Laparoscopic splenectomy demonstrated significant advantages over open surgery.
  • Low complication rates were observed, with intraoperative hemorrhage being the primary concern.
  • Patients experienced faster postoperative recovery and shorter hospitalizations.

Conclusions:

  • Laparoscopic splenectomy is a viable and advantageous alternative to open surgery in pediatric patients.
  • The minimally invasive approach offers superior perioperative and postoperative outcomes.
  • Laparoscopic splenectomy is poised to become the standard surgical method for children requiring splenectomy.
