Case Report: Single-port robotic-assisted partial splenectomy for a giant congenital splenic cyst in a child using the SHURUI system
To report the feasibility and outcomes of single-port robotic-assisted partial splenectomy for a giant congenital splenic cyst in a pediatric patient, highlighting its significance in minimizing splenic loss.
Key Findings:
The procedure was completed without conversion or intraoperative complications.
Estimated blood loss was approximately 20 mL.
Pathological examination confirmed a congenital epithelial splenic cyst.
At 3-month follow-up, the patient remained asymptomatic with satisfactory residual splenic morphology and was discharged on postoperative day 6.
Interpretation:
Single-port robotic-assisted partial splenectomy using the SHURUI system is feasible for selected pediatric patients with giant congenital splenic cysts, suggesting a potential shift in surgical practice.
Limitations:
Experience is limited to a single case.
Longer follow-up is required to assess the durability of outcomes.
Potential biases in patient selection and surgical technique may affect generalizability.
Conclusion:
This case adds to the emerging evidence supporting robotic spleen-preserving surgery in children, indicating a promising avenue for future research and clinical practice.
