LAPAROSCOPIC PARTIAL SPLENECTOMY FOR A SPLEEN CYST: CASE REPORT AND LITERATURE

Main Article Content

Abstract

Laparoscopic splenectomy is currently widely performed to treat benign and malignant diseases of the spleen. However, total splenectomy increases the risk of infection after surgery, which causes the patient to need long-term use of antibiotics. Advances in surgical techniques and instruments have led to the development of partial splenectomy, which is primarily indicated for the treatment of localized splenic lesions. The main advantage of this method is to preserve the immune function of the spleen, helping patients avoid complications after total splenectomy. In addition, using laparoscopy in partial splenectomy also helps patients recover faster than open surgery. We clinically report a case of a patient diagnosed with a splenic cyst and successfully treated with laparoscopic partial splenectomy.
