“…Even if the spleen is morcel-lated for retrieval, larger incisions are needed so that many important advantages of minimally invasive technique are lost in these cases. [14] We find that three points are especially important for a successful operation on the spleen. These are: position of the patient; trocar positions; use of modern coagulation and cutting instruments.…”

“…Partial splenectomy can preserve the immune function of the spleen if at least 25% of the normal splenic tissue by weight is preserved [11,12] . Since Uranüs et al [13] reported the first case of laparoscopic partial splenectomy in 1995, showing the benefits of a splenic parenchymapreserving procedure with minimally invasive surgery, it has become an elective procedure for focal splenic disorders [3,14] . Uranues et al [14] reported 38 patients who underwent laparoscopic partial splenectomy with a median operating time of 110 min and with no postoperative mortality.…”

However, laparoscopic partial splenectomy still remains a challenging procedure as bleeding from the cut edge of the spleen is difficult to control and can result in death.…”

We report a 51-year-old female patient with a solitary lymphangioma located in the upper splenic pole which was managed successfully with laparoscopic partial splenectomy. Surgery lasted 170 min and did not require blood transfusions. The patient recovered well post-operatively and was asymptomatic at the 3-mo follow-up. She had a normal platelet count and no recurrence on ultrasonography or computed tomography. Laparoscopic partial splenectomy is a safe, minimally invasive technique for the treatment of solitary splenic lymphangiomas in the splenic pole. We performed the procedure using the Habib TM 4X device. This laparoscopic bipolar radiofrequency device ensured a "bloodless" splenic parenchymal resection. Core tip:We report the first case of a solitary splenic lymphangioma managed successfully by laparoscopic partial splenectomy using Habib TM 4X, a laparoscopic bipolar radiofrequency device, which allowed for a "bloodless" splenic parenchymal resection.Wang WD, Lin J, Wu ZQ, Liu QB, Ma J, Chen XW.

“…Since it was first reported in 1991, laparoscopic splenectomy has gained increased acceptance and is the standard procedure for the surgical treatment of hematological splenic disorders [9]. Technological progress has allowed partial laparoscopic splenectomy to be performed with lower risks and good hematological results by preserving the immunological function of the spleen.…”
