Hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery (HALS) offers tactile sensation for organ manipulation. Preliminary data suggest HALS in laparoscopic splenectomy (LS) reduces operative time while maintaining minimally invasive benefits.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Technology
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery

Background:

  • Hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery (HALS) aims to improve tactile feedback and organ manipulation during laparoscopic procedures.
  • Laparoscopic splenectomy (LS) is a standard minimally invasive approach for spleen removal.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the preliminary experience and advantages of HALS in laparoscopic splenectomy (LS).
  • To assess the utility of HALS in specific clinical scenarios, including splenomegaly, trauma, and intraoperative challenges.

Main Methods:

  • Preliminary clinical experience with HALS for laparoscopic splenectomy.
  • Comparison of operative time and surgical approach advantages between HALS and conventional LS.

Main Results:

  • HALS demonstrated a substantial reduction in operative time for laparoscopic splenectomy.
  • HALS facilitates manipulation of solid organs and restores tactile sensation.
  • The role of HALS is clear in splenomegaly and trauma, and as an alternative to conversion for complications.

Conclusions:

  • HALS offers significant advantages in reducing operative time for laparoscopic splenectomy.
  • Its utility is well-established for large spleens, trauma, and complex cases.
  • The application of HALS for normal-sized spleens remains a subject of debate due to the efficacy of conventional LS.
