Overview
Aim:
Comparison laparoscopic (LS) and conventional splenectomy (OS).
Material and methodics:
Evaluation results of 22 patients after LS and 22 patients after open splenectomy for idiopathic trombocythopenic purpura (ITP) – complications, operational time, hospital stay, dynamics of coagulating parameters, mainly plattelets.
Results:
We provided longer operational time, shorter hospital stay, earlier regression of trombocytopenia at patients after laparoscopic splenectomy and all at once the same complications then at patients after open splenectomy.
Conclusion:
The laparoscopic splenectomy is considere for advantages of miniinvasive approach as appropriate alternative of surgical treatment of ITP.
Key words:
splenectomy – laparoscopic – conventional – results
