No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This is a prospective trial of single incision versus standard 4-port laparoscopic splenectomy.

The hypothesis is that there may be a difference in wound infection rates, operative time, doses of analgesics post-operatively, and patient/parent perception of scars. However, the technical difficulty is considerable and the primary outcome is operative time which will be expressed in minutes.

Conditions

  • Hereditary Spherocytosis
  • Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura
