Abstract
We report long-term follow-up of a patient who underwent a tailored laparoscopic procedure for symptomatic cholelithiasis, massive splenomegaly, and a planned pregnancy. There were no complications, and the patient remained symptom-free at the 5-year follow-up. We supplemented our case report with national surgical data demonstrating the safety of laparoscopic splenectomy.
