| PowerPoint Presentation on LAPAROSCOPIC SPLENECTOMY CAN INDUCE SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT IN HYPOPLASTIC MYELODYSPLASTIC SYNDROME (CASE REPORT). or PowerPoint Presentation on A 20 years old male patient was diagnosed as hypoplastic myelodysplastic syndrome (hMDS) – refractory cytopenia with multilineage dysplasia on November 2002. No persistent improvement and even worsening of the thrombocytopenia and the appearance of neutropenia following corticotherapy were registered. Laparoscopic splenectomy has been performed on January 2003, when the platelets were ~ 15000/mm3, without intraoperative incidents. After splenectomy, no other therapy or transfusions have been applied and a slow but continuous improvement of the peripheral blood counts up to normal values has been noted. A notable increase of cellular density was registered in the bone marrow after more than three years from splenectomy, with the persistence of the other morphological dysplastic features.
