Abstract
Laparoscopic management of a splenic cyst in a 17-year-old patient is discussed. Indications and technical aspects of the procedure are presented. The etiology of splenic cysts and treatment alternatives are discussed. A cyst-peritoneum window was performed successfully using minimally invasive techniques, with a short hospital stay and preservation of the spleen. Minimally invasive surgery provides an alternative to conventional surgical procedures on selected patients with splenic cysts.Keywords
