Total Splenectomy due to an Unexpected “Complication” after Successful Extended Laparoscopic Partial Decapsulation of a Giant Epidermoid Splenic Cyst: A Case Report
Figure 4
(a)–(f) Laparoscopic view of the splenic cyst during operation. A large splenic cyst located at the upper pole of the spleen was found, and its contents were aspirated laparoscopically (a & b). Laparoscopic resection of the cyst wall and partial decapsulation with a large window was performed (c & d). The resected cyst wall was removed in an ENDOBAG (e). A drain was placed in the cyst remaining cavity (f).
