Abstract: 1) Minimally invasive splenectomy was essentially comparable to open surgery with regard to safety, efficacy, and late results; 2) Advantages concerning shorter postoperative hospitalization could not be shown, despite earlier food intake and a non-significant tendency toward earlier discharge; 3) This new modality should be considered an option in cases of hematologic conditions whenever the spleen is not hugely enlarged.

“…13 Also, the study done by Sapucahy et al, showed that the mean hospital stay among laparoscopic splenectomy was 5 days, which is much lower than that of open splenectomy (8 days). 14 Mahatharadol et al found that the hospital stay is from 2-24 days, with a mean of 3 days, a result which is somewhat similar to our findings. 15 Macedo et al found that the hospital stay was ranging from 2-21 days with a mean of 3.2 days.…”

“…11,12 The study done by Ardestani et al to compare open versus laparoscopic splenectomy was done on much older patients with a mean age of 55-59 years. 14 Females were slightly higher than males in our study population, which is similar to Sapucahy et al, but opposite to the study done by Ardestani et al 14,13 ITP was the most common indication of splenectomy, followed by hypersplenism and hereditary spherocytosis. This was agreed with Al-Khuzaie and Sapucahy et al who found this predominance of ITP cases among patients indicated and suitable for splenectomy.…”

“…A esplenectomia é uma conduta terapêutica na qual com a remoção do baço, principal local de degradação de plaquetas, ocorre melhora da trombocitopenia. É recomendada em casos de PTI crônica, no qual há uso crônico de corticoides ou falha na resposta do organismo aos corticoides e a imunoglobulina humana 1,4,5,7 . Outras opções terapêuticas consistem no uso de imunoglobulina humana intravenosa e imunoglobulina anti-D, particularmente nas fases agudas.…”
