Abstract
We encountered a case of splenic artery aneurysm, which was treated by laparoscopic aneurysmorrhaphy and splenectomy. A 66-year-old woman was admitted due to an asymptomatic aneurysm in the splenic hilum, which was found serendipitously by magnetic resonance imaging. After an attempt at transcatheter coil embolization failed, laparoscopic ligation of splenic artery accompanied with splenectomy was performed. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful. Laparoscopic treatment of splenic artery aneurysm is safe and effective.
