- Abstract
Background: With the rise of laparoscopic surgery, there have been reports of blunt trauma situations where a laparoscopic approach was used, particularly for partial splenectomies. However, the evidence has not yet met acceptable criteria. This study aimed to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and outcome of laparoscopic splenectomy in patients with blunt splenic injury. Patients and methods: This clinical trial study was carried out in Zagazig University hospital including 30 patients with splenic injuries caused by blunt abdominal trauma who were admitted to the Emergency Department of Zagazig University hospitals during the period from March 2020 to September 2020 to evaluate the feasibility and outcome of laparoscopic splenectomy in patients with blunt splenic injury. The diagnosis of splenic injury caused by blunt splenic trauma was confirmed on basis of Radiological investigations and Laboratory investigations. Results: in this study, Only 2 cases 6.7% converted to open. Overall complication founded in 4 cases with 13.3%. Conclusion: Laparoscopic Splenectomy was safe and technically feasible when applied carefully to patients with blunt abdominal trauma, decreasing the hospitalization time and postoperative ICU stay.
