Background: Minimally invasive surgery for elective splenectomy has become a routine procedure in all laparoscopic centers. After first case series, many groups has published comparative studies between open and laparoscopic approach. For this purpose, a meta-analysis investigating comparative studies of open versus laparoscopic approach for splenectomy was performed.Methods: All kinds of manuscripts were reviewed, and we included the only studies with a laparoscopic group number >= 50 cases.Results: The literature search, performed until December 31, 2019, identified a total of 564 records. After full-text analysis, twelve studies were included in the meta-analysis. Operative time was higher for the laparoscopic group in all but one study. The length of stay, morbidity and mortality were less frequent in the laparoscopic group.Conclusions: The gain of shorter hospital-stay associated with the good outcomes suggests performing splenectomy by a laparoscopic procedure.
