A modified laparoscopic splenectomy for massive splenomegaly in children with hematological disorder: a single institute retrospective clinical research

Abstract: Despite the conflicting reports regarding the safety of LS for massive splenomegaly, we demonstrated that our modified laparoscopic splenectomy in the treatment of children with massive splenomegaly in hematological diseases seemed to achieve the fundamental goal of less invasion; it was safe and feasible.

“…18 In a recent study by Deng et al, 57 pediatric cases with LS were analyzed and it was reported that the mean length for hospital stay was five days and the mean operative time was 120 minutes. 13 Although in this study for length of hospital stay were consistent with the literature with an average of five days, this is not the case for the length of operative time. Most of the studies and the ones summarized above reported over 100 minutes of average operative time for LS.…”

“…Nevertheless, technical advancements such as hand-assisted laparoscopic splenectomy have facilitated increased acceptance of laparoscopy as an approach that is superior to open splenectomy, even in patients with severe hematologic diseases associated with massive splenomegaly. [12][13][14] In this study, one patient underwent hand assisted splenectomy and this technique can be used instead of open splenectomy when needed.…”

“…Independientemente de ello, los avances tecnológicos, como la EL con ayuda manual, mejoraron la aceptación de la laparoscopía como un abordaje superior a la esplenectomía abierta, incluso en pacientes con trastornos hemáticos asociados con esplenomegalia masiva. [12][13][14] En este estudio, a un paciente se le realizó una esplenectomía con ayuda manual; esta técnica podría usarse en lugar de la esplenectomía abierta en caso de ser necesaria.…”

“…18 En un estudio reciente de Deng y col., se analizaron 57 pacientes pediátricos con EL y se informó que la duración media de la hospitalización fue de cinco días y de la cirugía, de 120 minutos. 13 Si bien en este estudio la duración de la hospitalización coincidió con la bibliografía (promedio de cinco días), este no fue el caso con la duración de la cirugía. En la mayoría de los estudios, y en los que se resumen anteriormente, se informó un promedio de duración de la EL de 100 minutos.…”
