Abstract
AIM: To compare the clinical effect of small incision-assisted laparoscopic splenectomy (LS) and open splenectomy in the treatment of hematologic disease. METHODS: The clinical data of 60 cases of small incision-assisted LS and 66 cases of splenectomy from October 1993 to May 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS: The blood loss, enterokinesia time, off-bed activity times, hospitalization time, and incidence of complications in the laparoscopic group decreased significantly than the open group. There was no significance of difference between the 2 groups in the mean operating time and medical costs (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Clinical effects of patients treated by small incision-assisted LS were better than those treated by open splenectomy. Small incision-assisted LS has advantages of microinvasion, safety, effectiveness, and quick recovery in the treatment of hematologic disease.
