Abstract
Splenic artery aneurysm is a rare but serious vascular disease. The mortality risk is 36% when one is ruptured. Surgical therapy has traditionally consisted in resection through a laparotomy. The authors' experience of a case of laparoscopic exclusion of a splenic artery aneurysm is reported. This surgical approach is simple, safe, and minimally invasive. This procedure should increase the indication for surgical treatment of a splenic artery aneurysm.Keywords
