Discussion

Systematic review demonstrates lower blood loss in robotic splenectomy for children, suggesting possible benefits over laparoscopic methods.

Robotic splenectomy showed significantly lower blood loss compared to laparoscopic splenectomy in pediatric patients.
In a review of six studies, the average blood loss was 56.95 ml lower in the robotic group, with 248 total participants.
The study utilized systematic review and meta-analysis methods to assess blood loss, operation time, and complications.
Despite showing advantages, the limited sample sizes and observational study designs caution against definitive conclusions.

Aboelmajd et al. (2025) studied this question.
