INTRODUCTION: Surgical acceptance of the laparoscopic splenectomy in the pediatric @entity1503 has improved due to safety, to relif @entity282 , and to reduce the hospital stay. The aim of this study is present our surgical laparoscopic technique performed. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Eight @entity1 , 6 spherocytosis (age ranged: 6-14 years, average age: 9.5 years; 5 @entity1 and 1 @entity1 ) and 2 cases of @entity5506 (both @entity1 of 18 months and 4 years) underwent laparoscopic splenectomy. The Trias-Targarona technique has been performed placing the @entity1 at the right lateral-decubitus position. Four trocars are placed, two of 5 mm in the posterior axillary line and epigastrium and other 2 trocars of 12 mm, in the middle of them. RESULTS: In all these 8 @entity1 a laparoscopic splenectomy was completely performed. We had 2 cases with problems with the sac introduction. Cosmetic results have been excellent and we changed the 7-day antibiotic protocol for 2-day protocol. The surgical time has changed from 3 to 2 hours. CONCLUSIONS: With laparoscopic splenectomy we can give an adequate response to @entity1503 in @entity1 with a acceptable surgical time, an excellent cosmetic result with a minimum postoperative time and a very short hospital stay.
