Article Synopsis
- The authors discuss their experience with laparoscopic splenectomy at a hospital in Prague from 1996 to 2002, highlighting a total of 66 procedures performed, including both open and laparoscopic methods primarily for hematological issues.
- Among the cases, 31 laparoscopic splenectomies were conducted, all related to hematological conditions, with no recorded infections from the laparoscopic approach, in contrast to a notable infection rate for open procedures.
- The authors recommend using clamps on the lienal artery to prevent hemorrhage during laparoscopic surgeries, as they observed bleeding complications in a small percentage of cases despite a relatively low complication rate overall.
