Laparoscopic versus open splenectomy for immune thrombocytopenic purpura.
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic splenectomy (LS) has been proposed as a substitute to open splenectomy (OS) in the treatment of immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). The aim of this study was to compare two cohorts of patients with ITP who underwent OS or LS. PATIENTS AND METHODS From February 1990 to January 1997, 27 patients underwent OS and 22 LS. Perioperative characteristics, outcomes, and comp...
متن کاملLaparoscopic versus open splenectomy: a comparative study.
Laparoscopic splenectomy (LS) is gaining wide acceptance as a safe, effective alternative to open splenectomy (OS) in the treatment of hematologic disorders in adult and pediatric patients, with low conversion rates and complications. The aim of this retrospective case-control study was to compare two cohorts of patients, with similar characteristics, who underwent OS or LS in a single institut...

The term splenosis describes autotransplantation or implantation of ectopic splenic tissue within the abdominal cavity or in any other unusual body compartment. In addition to the diagnostic dilemma it causes, splenosis may also lead to persistence or recurrence of hematologic dysfunctions by its preserved immune activity especially in cases of splenectomy due to hematologic indications. Herein...
متن کاملLaparoscopic Splenectomy Reduces the Need for Platelet Transfusion in Patients With Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura
OBJECTIVES Laparoscopic splenectomy has been increasingly used in patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. Because it is associated with minimal abdominal trauma, platelet consumption could be reduced with the laparoscopic approach. The aim of this study was to analyze intraoperative bleeding and the need for apheresis platelets, comparing laparoscopic with open splenectomy. METHODS...
متن کاملAdult idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura without the option of splenectomy.
In this part of Malaysia, consent of splenectomy is virtually unobtainable, so we studied the outcome of ITP without this treatment option. Thirty-two adult patients were seen, but 7 defaulted before therapy evaluation. Of the remaining 25, 17 achieved a complete remission with prednisolone, but in only 8 was this prolonged. Twelve patients, who failed to respond to prednisolone or who required...
