If you are doing "hand-assisted", might as well just make it a formal laparotomy.

My kid is busting her ass to get into med school and has a pretty decent chance but the competition on paper is pretty fierce. And then you read stories like this guy with all the safety protocols put into place and wonder how in the hell these people make it into med school and obtain licensure to practice. And if the spleen is as big as he said it was, then he should have converted the surgery from a laparoscopy to an open (laparotomy). The recovery wouldn't have been that much longer.
