In cases with abnormal spleen problems, early examination, diagnosis and treatment are needed to avoid the risk of spleen rupture that is life-threatening. Laparoscopic splenectomy is the method indicated for cases of hypersplenism, thrombocytopenia, hemolytic anemia, etc.

Currently, laparoscopic splenectomy has many advantages over traditional open splenectomy such as: avoiding large incisions, less blood loss, less post-operative pain.
