Laparoscopic partial splenectomy for splenic epidermoid cyst.
The treatment strategy of the splenic cyst is controversial. Better understanding of the splenic segmental anatomy, need of splenic conservation, and advances in laparoscopic skills has made laparoscopic partial splenectomy a preferred treatment for splenic cysts. In this paper, we report a case of splenic epidermoid cyst managed successfully by laparoscopic partial splenectomy. Also, results of various treatment strategies were reviewed.
