[Laparoscopic splenectomy--our experience].
OBJECTIVE
Comparison laparoscopic (LS) and conventional splenectomy (OS).


METHODS
Evaluation results of 22 patients after LS and 22 patients after open splenectomy for idiopathic trombocythopenic purpura (ITP)--complications, operational time, hospital stay, dynamics of coagulating parameters, mainly plattelets.


RESULTS
We provided longer operational time, shorter hospital stay, earlier regression of trombocytopenia at patients after laparoscopic splenectomy and all at once the same complications then at patients after open splenectomy.


CONCLUSIONS
The laparoscopic splenectomy is considere for advantages of miniinvasive approach as appropriate alternative of surgical treatment of ITP.
