Laparoscopic Splenectomy in ITP, hereditary spherocytosis, hemolytic anemia, and other ITP-like syndromes. (Photo shows accessory spleen as identified through the laparoscope.) We have performed more than 170 laparoscopic splenectomies, the largest series in the world. Results were published in the Annals of Surgery, October 1998 issue. The conclusion of this paper was that laparoscopic splenectomy for benign hematologic disorders is the gold standard when surgery is indicated.
