Popis: The paper presents the assessment of the feasibility of robot-assisted partial and total splenectomy using the da Vinci surgical system. The authors conducted a retrospective study in which we included patients who underwent robotic surgery at the Fifth Surgical Clinic of Cluj-Napoca Municipal Hospital between 2010 and 2015. During this period, 15 robotic splenectomies had been performed, 8 women and 7 men, aged 9-69 years. Of these, 11 were total splenectomies and 4 partial splenectomies. There was only one case of conversion to open surgery and three cases of postoperative complications, two of which responded to conservative treatment. Robot-assisted splenectomy using the da Vinci surgical system is technically safe and feasible and represents an alternative to laparoscopic surgery, especially useful in difficult splenectomies.
