title: [Mini-invasive interventions for cystic formations of the spleen].
abstract: The data of complex clinical examination and surgical treatment of 89 patients, having splenic cysts (SC), are analyzed. Indications and contraindications for miniinvasive methods of treatment (laparoscopic and puncture-draining procedures under ultrasonographic control) application are substantiated, taking into account their size, localization, pathogenesis and presence of SC complications. Diagnostic efficacy of abdominal ultrasonography, computer tomography for SC was estimated, the significance of these methods, while choosing a rational tactics of treatment, was determined. There were elaborated and introduced into clinical practice the stages of endosurgical procedures, including performance of organpreserving operations for SC. Introduction of the elaborated diagnostic algorithm and tactics of treatment of SC have permitted to reduce postoperative complications rate and the patients stay in hospital, improving their quality of life as well.
