Laparoscopic partial splenectomy for giant cyst using a radiofrequency-assisted device: a case report

摘要

BackgroundAlthough radiofrequency-assisted devices have sometimes been used in partial splenectomy, this is not a common technique. This report describes the first case of laparoscopic partial splenectomy using an RF-assisted device (Coolinside) which allows both coagulation and transection of the parenchyma and eventually the protective coagulation of the remnant side.
