The TA-stapler facilitates organ-preserving spleen surgery, enabling partial spleen resections for various conditions like traumatic ruptures and splenic cysts. This method ensures normal spleen function post-operation without complications.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Innovation
  • Gastroenterology
  • Trauma Surgery

Background:

  • Partial splenic resections are crucial for preserving spleen function.
  • Traditional methods may have limitations in organ-conservation.
  • The TA-stapler offers a potential alternative for splenic procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the TA-stapler for partial spleen resections.
  • To assess the TA-stapler's utility in diverse splenic pathologies.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 15 partial spleen resections using the TA-stapler (TA-55 and TA-90).
  • Indications included traumatic ruptures, splenic cysts, surgical injuries, and diagnostic resections.
  • Postoperative outcomes, including bleeding and functional recovery, were monitored.

Main Results:

  • The TA-stapler was used in 15 cases, including traumatic ruptures, cysts, and surgical injuries.
  • No postoperative bleeding or need for further surgery was observed.
  • All patients demonstrated normal spleen function post-procedure, confirmed by lab tests and scintigraphy.

Conclusions:

  • The TA-stapler is a safe and effective tool for partial spleen resection.
  • It expands technical options for organ-conserving splenic surgery.
  • This technique aids in maintaining normal splenic function after resection.
