Overview

Systematic review compares robotic splenectomy and laparoscopic techniques in pediatric patients, indicating no clear superiority.

Key Points

  • Robotic splenectomy showed low intraoperative blood loss and low conversion rates compared to laparoscopic surgery.
  • Of 272 pediatric patients from 16 studies, a significant reduction in hospitalization days was found with robotic surgery.
  • The analysis applied meta-analysis methods and assessed risk of bias using the ROBINS-I tool for non-randomized studies.
  • Findings rated as very low certainty according to the GRADE framework, highlighting insecurity over clinical benefits.
