Area of Science:

  • Minimally invasive surgery
  • Surgical techniques
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Multiport laparoscopic splenectomy (LS) is the standard for spleen removal.
  • Surgical techniques have evolved towards less invasive approaches.
  • Single-port access (SPA) surgery represents a recent advancement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the technique for single-port access splenectomy.
  • To critically review the existing literature on SPA for splenic diseases.

Main Methods:

  • Description of the SPA splenectomy technique.
  • Literature review of current studies on SPA for spleen conditions.

Main Results:

  • Preliminary findings suggest SPA splenectomy is feasible and safe.

  • Published evidence is limited, primarily consisting of case reports and a small series (17 patients).

    • Conclusions:

    • SPA splenectomy is a potentially viable minimally invasive approach.
    • Further extensive research and comparative trials are necessary to confirm its efficacy and role.
