Abstract

Objective To evaluate laparoscopic partial splenectomy (LPS) for benign splenic tumors. Method Data of 55 patients undergoing laparoscopic partial splenectomy (20 cases) vs total splenectomy (LTS in 35 cases) at Peking University Third Hospital from August 2008 to July 2016 were collected and retrospectively analyzed. Results There was no difference in sex, BMI, preoperative HGB, preoperative PLT, operation time, operative blood loss and hospital stay between two groups. Age in LPS cases was younger than LTS group, while the tumor size was larger. On the 4th day postoperatively, PLT level was significnatly higher in LTP group. More patients in LTS group suffered from thrombocytosis. Conclusions Laprtoscopic partial splenectomy is a safe and effective procedure for the management of splenic benign tumors. Key words: Splenic neoplasms; Laparoscopes
