Core Tip	With meticulous surgical techniques and advanced instruments, laparoscopic splenectomy is becoming a technically feasible, safe, and effective procedure for hypersplenism secondary to cirrhosis and portal hypertension, and contributes to decreased blood loss, a shorter hospital stay, and less impairment of liver function. It is recommended that the dilated short gastric vessels and other enlarged collateral circulation surrounding the spleen be divided with LigaSure vessel sealing equipment, and blunt dissection be avoided. Use of the vascular stapler is reported to shorten and facilitate hilar dissection compared with the former techniques of ligation or clipping.
