Laparoscopic partial splenectomy is a safe and effective surgical option for children, preserving spleen function and preventing infections. VR rendering software enhances surgical precision for splenic procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Medical Imaging Technology

Background:

  • Partial splenectomy in children preserves spleen immunological function for hematological diseases and splenic tumors.
  • Laparoscopic partial splenectomy is a safe, minimally invasive surgical approach in pediatric patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the utility of VR rendering software in guiding laparoscopic partial splenectomy for non-parasitic splenic cysts in children.
  • To assess the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic partial splenectomy in pediatric cases.

Main Methods:

  • Application of VR-render LE software (version 0.81) for 3D visualization of splenic anatomy.
  • Performance of five cases of laparoscopic partial splenectomy for non-parasitic splenic cysts.

Application of Laparoscopic Partial Splenectomy with Total Blood Flow Occlusion in Benign Splenic Lesions

Published on: December 20, 2024

Main Results:

  • VR rendering enabled preoperative reconstruction of splenic hilum vascularization, facilitating safe vessel control.
  • All five laparoscopic partial splenectomies were completed without complications or significant blood loss.

Conclusions:

  • Laparoscopic partial splenectomy is a feasible, reproducible, and safe first-choice procedure for children, preserving splenic tissue and preventing post-splenectomy infections.
  • Volume rendering software offers high anatomical resolution, aiding surgical guidance in splenic procedures.
