Abstract
|
|
|
|
Splenic preservation and conservative management are now accepted norms when dealing with splenic pathologic conditions, Recently we managed one case of splenic pseudocyst by successfully performing partial splenectomy via a laparoscopic approach, This case report possibly the first case report of its kind in Korea, describes laparoscopic partial splenectomy for an undiagnosed and suspected benign splenic lesion, A thorough understanding of splenic anatomy permits laparoscopic partial splenectomy with the resultant benefits including a decreased risk of postsplenectomy sepsis by preserving splenic function, short hospital stay, smooth convalescence, superior cosmesis, and nonrecurrence. The success and relative ease of performing this procedure will pave the way for its future use in other selective cases involving splenic pathology.
