title: Three-dimensional arterial computed tomography and laparoscope-assisted splenectomy as a minimally invasive examination and treatment of splenic aneurysms.
abstract: For the purpose of prophylactic treatment of splenic aneurysms, both examinations and treatments should be minimally invasive. Here, we report a case of a patient who underwent three-dimensional arterial computed tomography (CT) and laparoscope-assisted splenectomy with aneurysm resection as a combination of minimally invasive examination and treatment.
