Abstract
Routine identification and resection of accessory splenic tissue, an integral part of splenectomy for immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), is not necessarily a "blind spot" of the laparoscopic technique. This case report of laparoscopic resection of accessory spleen for recurrent ITP 19 yr after splenectomy supports this view.Entities:
