Predictive Factors for Success of Laparoscopic Splenectomy for ITP

Background and Objectives: Therapy-resistant immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is the most frequent indication of laparoscopic splenectomy (LS). It ensures the best results for this disease compared with possible second-line pharmacologic therapies. Therefore, learning about the safety of the surgical method and its long-term efficacy is important, as is selecting patients who respond to surgical treatment. Our purpose was to analyze the safety of LS and the short-and long-term prognostic significance of known perioperative parameters.
