Abstract
Laparoscopic splenectomy is a feasible and safe technique in the hands of skilled laparoscopic surgeons. The special characteristics of the spleen, a fragile solid organ with a rich vascularization, pose a number of technical questions (patient position, organ mobilization and retrieval) which have been successfully resolved during the last few years and permit the advantages of laparoscopic surgery to become available to patients that need splenectomy.
