Core Tip	Laparoscopic splenectomy (LS) achieves excellent results for treatment of benign hematological diseases. The role of LS in treatment of splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL) is difficult to define due to the associated splenomegaly, which may influence long-term outcomes. We investigated the perioperative variables and long-term follow-up of 18 SMZL patients who underwent LS and compared them with SMZL patients who underwent open splenectomy, immune thrombocytopenia patients who underwent LS, and liver cirrhosis patients who underwent LS. LS should be considered an appropriate treatment strategy for SMZL patients in an effort to improve the treatment options and survival of these patients.
