Robotic single-access splenectomy using the Da Vinci Single-Site® platform: a case report

Abstract

Single-access robotic splenectomy seems to be feasible and safe using the new robotic single-access platform, which seems to overcome certain limits of previous robotic or conventional single-access laparoscopy. We think that additional studies should also be performed to explore the real cost-effectiveness of the platform.

Single-Access Laparoscopic Rectal Resection Versus the Multiport Technique

“…This problem could be overcome with the use of robotic surgery. 35 Furthermore, in this study, we performed a differential cost analysis between the 2 procedures. We observed that in spite of the higher cost of the medical devices, SALS appeared to present similar hospital costs to MALS because of a reduction in hospital stays (of about 1 day).…”

Da Vinci single site© surgical platform in clinical practice: a systematic review

“…In 2014, Corcione et al . described the first splenectomy using the DVSSP . The operation was conducted on a 37‐year‐old woman with splenomegaly (380 mL volume) due to idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura.…”
