Single-access robotic splenectomy using the Da Vinci Single-Site platform is feasible and safe for patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. This robotic approach may overcome limitations of conventional laparoscopic surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Robotics
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery

Background:

  • Single-access laparoscopic splenectomy presents challenges including limited space and instrument maneuverability.
  • The Da Vinci Single-Site robotic surgery platform aims to mitigate these difficulties.

Observation:

  • A case report details a single-access robotic splenectomy performed on a 37-year-old female with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura.
  • The procedure utilized the Da Vinci Single-Site robotic surgery device.

Findings:

  • The robotic splenectomy was successfully completed in 140 minutes.
  • No intraoperative or postoperative complications were observed, with the patient discharged on postoperative day 3.

Implications:
