About this study

Background: laparoscopic splenectomy (LS) gained popularity during the last years in pediatric age group. Benign hematological diseases represent the main indications of that procedure. There are some score systems of difficulty of the technique but they are for adult patients. The aim is to develop a prognostic score system of LS in children with benign hematological diseases.

Methods: LS was performed in all children with benign hematological diseases. LS was done by the same team. They operated children in lateral decubitus position. The control of pedicle was achieved using bipolar sealing devices, polymer clips or endoscopic linear staplers. Preoperative, operative, and postoperative data were recorded and analyzed. Children were divided into two groups A and B according to the development of complications.
