Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Splenic surgeries in children are performed for various conditions including hereditary spherocytosis and splenic cysts.
  • Laparoscopic approaches are increasingly utilized for pediatric splenectomies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the effectiveness and perioperative complications of splenic surgeries in pediatric patients.
  • To evaluate the outcomes of laparoscopic versus open splenectomy in children.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective analysis of 41 splenectomies in patients aged 5-18 years.
  • Utilized anterior abdominal laparoscopic approach for most procedures, including partial splenectomies.
  • Recorded indications, operative details, length of stay, and perioperative complications.

Main Results:

  • Laparoscopic partial splenectomy was performed in 35 cases, with 3 conversions to open surgery.
  • Common indications included hereditary spherocytosis (n=20) and splenic cysts (n=13).
  • The most frequent complication was bleeding requiring transfusion (n=6); no wound infections or postoperative sepsis were noted. Pleural effusion occurred in 31.6%.

Conclusions:

  • Partial splenectomy is a viable and effective primary surgical option for pediatric splenic conditions.
  • Laparoscopic partial splenectomy offers a minimally invasive approach with acceptable perioperative outcomes in children.
  • Careful patient selection and surgical technique are crucial for managing potential complications.
