ABSTRACT
Treatment results of 130 patients aged 1 to 16 years with benign hematological diseases (congenital microspheric anemia--93 patients, thalassemia--18, severe idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura--19) who has undergone laparoscopic cholecystectomy due to concomitant cholelithiasis. Optimization of surgical techniques permitted to achieve excellent functional and cosmetic results, to reduce operation time to 35-110 min (64.67+/-10.07 min on average), volume of hemorrhage to 30-110 ml (62.91+/-14.46 ml on average), to avoid intraoperative and postoperative complications. It is concluded that laparoscopy is the method of choice for the treatment of children with benign hematological diseases required splenectomy despite the age of child, spleen size, including the children with severe disorders of hemostasis system.
