Laparoscopic versus open splenectomy in children: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract: LS is a feasible, safe, and effective surgical procedure alternative to OS for pediatric patients. Compared with OS, LS has the advantage of shorter hospital stay and less blood loss. Besides, total postoperative complications may be slightly lower in LS. We conclude that LS should be considered an acceptable option for children.

“…Also vascular embolization, when an independent vascular pedicle is found, can be used [16]. The choice for surgical approach is surely influenced by the attitude of the operating surgeon toward minimally invasive techniques such as laparoscopy or robotic surgery (which are nowadays considered as the gold standard in uncomplicated cases) or open technique [17]. In our patient, recurrent abdominal pain was probably due to short lasting ischemia caused by intermittent torsion-detorsion which was possible for the incomplete fixation of the spleen to the gastrosplenic and splenorenal ligaments and for a longer vascular pedicle [18].…”

“…Feng ve ark. (13) 992 çocuk hasta, 508 laparoskopik, 414 açık splenektominin dahil edildiği bir metaanalizde açık ve laparoskopik splenektomileri kıyas-lamış, laparoskopik splenektomiyi kısa yatış süresi, daha az kan kaybı açısından üstün bulmuştur. Postoperatif komplikasyon oranı ve aksesuar dalak tespiti açısından ikisi arasında fark görmemişlerdir.…”

“…However, because remissions of ITP in children are often delayed and children <5 years of age are more susceptible to fatal sepsis caused by encapsulated organisms such as Streptococcus pneumoniae , Hemophilus influenza type b, and Neisseria meningitidis , the 2011 ASH guidelines recommended splenectomy to be considered for children with chronic ITP and who had bleeding symptoms [ 3 ]. Due to shorter hospital stay and less blood loss, laparoscopic splenectomy is preferred over open splenectomy in children with chronic ITP [ 55 ]. Children should complete vaccinations for encapsulated organisms at least 2 weeks prior to splenectomy, and prophylactic antibiotics are required for 2 years after splenectomy.…”
