Article Synopsis
- A 58-year-old patient with bilateral hemorrhagic papilledema underwent a unilateral ONSF but experienced severe vision loss after the surgery.
- Further investigation showed that the patient had extensive metastatic cancer affecting the optic chiasm and optic nerve sheath.
Background: The benefits of laparoscopic splenectomy (LS) over open splenectomy (OS) for normal-sized spleens have been well documented. However, the role of laparoscopy for moderate and massive splenomegaly is debated.
Methods: A retrospective review of patients undergoing elective splenectomy at one institution from 1997 to 2017 was conducted.
