The authors describe the technique applied in their first case of laparoscopic splenectomy, in a patient with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. Different technical approaches adopted by other surgeons are referred and discussed. The laparoscopic approach to splenectomy seems safe and allows the patients to re return to normal activity sooner than the "open" technique. Laparoscopy should be considered in patients who require splenectomy for benign disease.

Abstract
The authors describe the technique applied in their first case of laparoscopic splenectomy, in a patient with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. Different technical approaches adopted by other surgeons are referred and discussed. The laparoscopic approach to splenectomy seems safe and allows the patients to re return to normal activity sooner than the "open" technique. Laparoscopy should be considered in patients who require splenectomy for benign disease.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
