title: TA-stapler resection of congenital splenic cyst. Case report.
abstract: Splenic cysts are uncommon. Primary (true, epithelial) and secondary (false, non-epithelial) forms may be distinguished, the latter being more usual. Organ-preserving resection of a primary mesothelial splenic cyst, using a TA-stapler, is described and alternative techniques of splenic preservation are discussed.
