Background: laparoscopic splenectomy (LS) gained popularity during the last years in pediatric age group. Benign hematological diseases represent the main indications of that procedure. There are some score systems of difficulty of the technique but they are for adult patients. The aim is to develop a prognostic score system of LS in children with benign hematological diseases.
