      <Abstract>The purpose of this study is to report the experience and results of laparoscopic splenectomy for autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura in a general surgery department. This is a retrospective study obtained from a prospective database collection on laparoscopic splenectomy for Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) between January 2009 and June 2013. Twenty-eight patients underwent surgery. Fifty percent of patients had a platelet count of</Abstract>
