  • laparoscopic or open splenectomy for Hematologic Disease which approach is superior
    Journal of The American College of Surgeons, 1997
    Co-Authors: Richard L Friedman, Jonathan R Hiatt, Jeremy L Korman, Katherine Facklis, Judith Cymerman
    Abstract:

    Abstract Background: This study was undertaken to compare safety, outcome, and costs of laparoscopic (LS) and open splenectomy (OS) for a variety of Hematologic Diseases. Study Design: The records of 137 patients who underwent splenectomy (63 LS and 74 OS) at a large private teaching hospital between March 1991 and April 1996 were reviewed retrospectively. Diagnosis, age, gender, operative time, blood loss, splenic weight, time to resumption of oral diet, postoperative hospital stay, morbidity, mortality, and costs (direct and operative) were analyzed by multivariate statistical analysis. Results: Laparoscopic splenectomy patients had significantly shorter hospitalization and time to resumption of an oral diet (p Conclusions: LS results are influenced by splenic weight, Disease, and age. Splenic weight appears to be the crucial determinant of operative time and length of hospitalization. LS is a superior treatment for patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura and patients with small spleens. (J Am Coll Surg 1997;185:49–54. © 1997 by the American College of Surgeons)
