Laparoscopic Splenectomy for Patients with Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura
|
|

Abstract
|
|
|
The success and rapid spread of laparoscopic cholecystectomy have prompt the application of laparoscopic approach to abdominal surgical problems. As better instrumentation is introduced, more complicated surgical procedrues will be performed. In
some
hematologic disorders, splenectomy was required to cope with these disorders. So laparoscopic splenectomy also has been perfomed inspite of several specific difficulties for handling and mobilization of a parenchymatous organ and the retrieval of
the
specimen. We experienced a case of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura which was treated safely and successfully by laparoscopic splenectomy in 35-year-old female. This technique allows the patient to return to normal activity sooner than with
open
splenectomy.
