Results The intraoperaive blood loss and length of postoperative hospitalization were both obviously less in the laparoscope group. However, the operative time , postoperative complication and cost of hospitalization were similar in both groups. Conclusions Total laparoscopic splenectomy and pericardial devascularization can be applicated safely in the treatment of portal hypertension.Compared to the traditional open operation, there are several advantages such as minimal invasion, faster recovery, beautiful outlook and so on.
