Overview

Systematic review highlights lower complications and improved outcomes in laparoscopic splenectomy versus open method.

Key Points

  • Laparoscopic splenectomy associated with lower complication rates, showing a 24.2% rate compared to 56.1% for open surgery.
  • Patients undergoing laparoscopic splenectomy had a reduced average hospital stay of 6 days versus 11 days for the open approach.
  • The systematic review included 6 studies and a total of 1,320 patients, assessing various operative outcomes and complications.
  • Findings suggest laparoscopic splenectomy offers advantages in elective cases, but careful patient selection is essential.
