Laparoscopic splenectomy is a safe procedure for various spleen conditions, with conversion rates decreasing over time. This approach offers favorable outcomes and short hospital stays for patients.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally invasive surgery
  • Gastrointestinal surgery
  • Surgical outcomes

Background:

  • Laparoscopic splenectomy is preferred for elective splenic indications.
  • Conversion to open surgery is a concern in complex cases.
  • Long-term data offers insights into outcomes and learning curves.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the long-term outcomes of laparoscopic splenectomy.
  • To analyze conversion rates and identify influencing factors.
  • To assess the procedure's safety and efficacy over two decades.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective observational study at a tertiary referral center.
  • Analysis of 125 consecutive laparoscopic splenectomies over 20 years.
  • Evaluation of demographic data, indications, conversion rates, and hospital stay.

Main Results:

  • Hematologic diseases were the primary indication for splenectomy.
  • Conversion to open surgery occurred in 10.4% of cases.
  • Conversion rates decreased significantly over the 20-year study period, indicating improved outcomes with experience.

Conclusions:

  • Laparoscopic splenectomy is safe and effective for diverse splenic pathologies.
  • Favorable postoperative outcomes and acceptable conversion rates were achieved.
  • Patient selection, surgical technique, and experience are crucial for optimal results.
