    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Oncology
    • Hematology
    • Thoracic Surgery

    Background:

    • Splenectomy is a common procedure for various hematological conditions.
    • Patients with hemorrhagic syndrome or Itsenko-Cushing's syndrome present high operative risks.
    • Traditional abdominal splenectomy may be unsafe in these high-risk patient groups.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the thoracic approach for splenectomy.
    • To compare the thoracic approach with the abdominal approach in high-risk hematological patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Topographoanatomical studies of the thoracic approach.
    • Analysis of postoperative complications following splenectomy.
    • Detailed investigation of operative stages for both thoracic and abdominal approaches.
    • Experience from 226 splenectomy operations for blood system diseases.

    Main Results:

    • The thoracic approach with diaphragmotomy is proven to be advantageous.
    • The abdominal approach is deemed insufficient for ensuring safe operations in high-risk patients.
    • A significant reduction in postoperative surgical complications was observed with the thoracic approach compared to the abdominal approach.

    Conclusions:

    • The thoracic approach to splenectomy is a safer and more effective method for hematological patients, particularly those with complex conditions.
    • This approach minimizes postoperative complications, enhancing patient outcomes.
    • The findings support the thoracic route as a preferred surgical strategy in specific patient populations.
