    Author: Qiu M, Hua J, Shen Y.
    Journal: Zhonghua Wai Ke Za Zhi; 1995 Aug; 33(8):507-9. PubMed ID: 8706574.
    Abstract:
    Five patients of splenic operations had been performed by laparoscopic technique. Patients' ages ranged from 19 to 47, with an average of 31. Four were males and one was female. The procedures included splenectomy 1 patient, deroofing of splenic cyst (1), and hemostasis of splenic injuries (3). The results indicated that all the procedures were successful, and the average length of postoperative stay was 6.5 days. There were no complications. The advantages of laparoscopic splenic surgery include minimal incision, less postoperative pain and rapid recovery. It should be stressed, however, that laparoscopic splenic procedures should be performed cautiously for selected indications only and by surgical endoscopists well trained.
