Abstrakt:	Introduction: Adoption of robotic surgery in pediatrics has been slow. Robotic surgery within spatially-constrained workspaces in children makes traditional platforms less translatable. Da Vinci's newest single port (SP) robotic platform provides narrow, and deep access, making pediatric robotic surgery more feasible. Case Presentation: A five-year old female presented with hepatosplenomegaly due to hemolytic anemia from pyruvate kinase deficiency (PKD). When she progressed to requiring monthly transfusions, a splenectomy was performed to avoid the complications associated with frequent blood transfusions. The robotic approach was used to remove the intact spleen because traditional minimally invasive surgery can result in post-operative splenosis. Discussion: The patient successfully underwent single-port, robotic splenectomy - the first known splenectomy in a child using this approach. Furthermore, during the operation an accessory spleen was encountered in the omentum and was also successfully removed robotically. The patient tolerated the procedure well. Conclusion: This case demonstrates that the SP robot can be used for splenectomy to eliminate the risk of splenosis and achieve a superior cosmetic result. (Copyright © 2021 The Author(s).
