  • Title: Laparoscopic splenectomy for patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura.
    Author: Sardi A.
    Journal: Surg Laparosc Endosc; 1994 Aug; 4(4):316-9. PubMed ID: 7952446.
    Abstract:
    Laparoscopy has changed our approach to various surgical problems. The technique described herein, depicted in a patient with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, is safe and allows the patient to return to normal activity sooner than with open splenectomy. Laparoscopy should be considered in patients who require splenectomy for benign disease.
