description Minimally invasive surgery has recently gained acceptance as the surgical approach of choice for a variety of surgical disorders in children. Although traditional open surgery is still regarded as the standard approach for a splenectomy in children when necessary for hematologic disorders a few cases of successful laparoscopic splenectomy (LS) have been reported. We present our initial 11 cases of LS in children assessing surgical outcome. Eleven patients ages 2 through 15 years underwent LS between June of 1996 and July of 1999 at the Children's Hospital of New Orleans. Indications for surgery included idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, congenital spherocytosis, and hemolytic anemia. In all patients the diameter of the spleen was less than 15 cm. Surgical outcome was assessed according to the following parameters: operative time, postoperative length of stay, postoperative morbidity, and cosmetic results. Data were accumulated on the basis of retrospective chart review. LS was completed in all 11 patients. Postoperative morbidity was minimal and the median postoperative stay was 2.4 days (range 1–5). Mean operative time was 3 hours and 10 minutes (range 1.5–7 hours) with the last six procedures completed in an average of just over 2 hours. Intravenous analgesia was discontinued in
