Core Tip	Minimal surgical trauma is an important goal to both surgeons and patients. A novel technique, in which massively enlarged spleens are removed from the abdominal cavity with an electromechanical morcellator through an existing 12-mm port, was first developed by our surgical team for laparoscopic splenectomy and azygoportal disconnection, and greatly reduces surgical trauma for cirrhotic patients with bleeding portal hypertension and secondary hypersplenism. This technique resulted in minimal postoperative pain and scarring, faster and better postoperative recovery, and lower inflammatory immune responses.
