Application of Microwave Ablation in Laparoscopic Partial Splenectomy

Splenic hemangioma is the most common pathological classification of splenic tumors, and its surgical indication and treatment have been controversial. Before, open splenectomy was usually used to treat splenic hemangioma. Following the rapid development of laparoscopic techniques, people's requirements for minimally invasive treatment have gradually increased, and laparoscopic splenectomy has gradually become the main treatment method. However, through the deeper study of spleen function, it was found that partial splenectomy can cut down the incidence of postoperative thrombocythemia and decrease side effects on the physiological function of the body, so laparoscopic partial splenectomy came into being. However, due to the special anatomical structure, the incidence of hemorrhage during partial splenectomy is greater. Therefore, during the operation, we removed part of the splenic blood vessels, combined with microwave ablation, which perfectly solved the problem of intraoperative bleeding. Laparoscopic partial splenectomy combined with microwave ablation not only achieves the requirements of minimally invasive treatment but also reduces the risk of intraoperative bleeding, meriting clinical application and promotion.
