Abstract
Laparoscopic management of non-parasitic cysts (NSCs) of the spleen is currently the standard of care. There is a paucity of data of robotic management of NSCs. Here, we report a case of a NSC in a 13-year-old male. The patient presented to us with the chief complaints of pain in abdomen and feeling of a left upper abdomen lump for the last 3 months. The spleen being an important organ for immunity, we decided to opt for splenic preservation. Since minimal access methods offer the best outcome and we wanted to go with a safe option, we settled for near-total cystectomy of the splenic cyst. Here, we review the literature regarding the surgical management of NSCs and discuss the robotic technique for the accomplishment of the surgery.
