Abstract:
Objective:To apply the Da Vinci Surgical System in laparoscopic splenectomy and pericardial devascularization using " the tunnel-building technique" .
Methods:The clinical data of 31 patients who underwent robotic assisted laparoscopic splenectomy from Oct 2017 to Oct 2018 were analyzed. The operative time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospital stay and conversion rate were studied.
Results:All patients underwent robotic-assisted laparoscopic splenectomy without conversion to open surgery. The operation time was (216.0±33.5) min, intraoperative blood loss (137.6±53.8) ml, and postoperative stay (9.4±1.9) days. There were no early postoperative complications.
Conclusion:" The tunnel-building technique" using the Da Vinci Surgical System is feasible and has its unique advantages in laparoscopic splenectomy and pericardial devascularization.
