[Resection of a visceral artery aneurysm using the robot-assisted surgical system da Vinci Xi (case report)].

Abstract

One of the causes of intra-abdominal bleeding may be a ruptured aneurysm of visceral arteries of the abdominal aorta. Given high mortality from ruptured aneurysms, treatment for both symptomatic and asymptomatic aneurysms is mandatory. This article reports a clinical case concerning treatment of a splenic artery aneurysm with the help of a robot-assisted surgical system da Vinci Xi. Based on the analysis of the world experience in visceral arteries aneurysm treatment and the presented clinical case, the most rational treatment method is an endoscopic method of aneurysm resection using the da Vinci surgical system, which has proved reliable and yields excellent functional, clinical, and economically promising positive results.
