Implication

Systematic review shows laparoscopic splenectomy has fewer complications in patients with hematologic disorders, indicating superior safety.

Key Points

  • Laparoscopic splenectomy resulted in fewer complications and less blood loss, improving patient safety.
  • Patients who underwent laparoscopic procedures had shorter hospital stays by approximately 5 days compared to open splenectomy.
  • Assessment used PRISMA guidelines and included 1,320 patients from multiple databases, ensuring comprehensive analysis.
  • While the procedure time was longer for laparoscopy, the benefits highlight the importance of surgical expertise and selection.
