Robotic single-site splenectomy
Jae Hoon Lee, MD, PhD. Asan Medical Center Background : Laparoscopic splenectomy is the first surgical choice for benign splenic disease. Some studies have reported single-site laparoscopic splenectomy, but this technique poses many technical difficulties such as instrument clashing, lack of triangulation, odd angles, and lack of space. Recently, robotic single-site operation has been introduced… Continue Reading
