Laparoscopic fenestration of symptomatic solid spleen cyst with harmonic scalpel instrument.
1997
: The treatment of two operated solid splenic cysts has been reported by authors. Laparoscopic cyst fenestration has been demonstrated to be a useful alternative method to open surgery. The aim of the authors was to analyse the use of Ultracision Harmonic Scalpel in two spleen preserving procedures. Cysts were located in the superior and the anterior-inferior pole of the spleen. Cyst wall not covered by spleen tissues was removed, drain was left in the abdomen. In the demonstrating spleen cyst operation the advantages of HS instrument was the clean operating field, correct coagulation of cyst wall, short hospital stay. Authors believe that this new technology will make it easier and more desirable for surgeons to fenestrate symptomatic spleen cysts.
