Abstract
BackgroundSpleen artery aneurysm represents the most common visceral aneurysm and the third most common splanchnic aneurysm. Most patients have no symptoms and are diagnosed as a part of other diagnostic focuses and examinations. Greater prevalence and application of modern diagnostic and imaging procedures has resulted in greater detection of this disease. ResultsWe present two patients with splenic artery aneurysms localized in the splenic hilum, who auspiciously underwent laparoscopic splenectomies with the use of hem-o-lock clips in the vascular hilum without complications. Both postoperative courses were uneventful. At six months follow up, both patients are asymptomatic. ConclusionThese two cases showed that in addition to the numerous advantages of minimally invasive approaches for treating splenic arterial aneurysms, there is a possibility to improve laparoscopic technique in terms of safety and economic reasons by using hem - o - lock clips as a hemostatic technique for the vascular elements of the spleen hilum.
