Abstract

The authors present a short overview of the development of elective splenic resections. Past and present indications are presented. Contemporary hemostatic technique for elective splenic resection are discussed. An original new technique for transsegmental partial splenic resection using RF generator Radionic Cool Tip(without any aditional hemostatic procedures is presented. This technique is inovative and when use properly it is a practically zero blood loos technique. A patient with transsegmental splenic resection using RF generator is presented. Further clinical application of the technique is necessary.

Main findings

The paper describes an original technique for transsegmental partial splenic resection using an RF generator (Radionic Cool Tip) without additional hemostatic procedures. The authors state that when used properly it is a practically zero blood loss technique, and they present one patient treated with this method; they note further clinical application is necessary.

Outcomes measured

  • surgical technique for partial splenic resection
  • hemostasis/blood loss during splenic resection

Limitations

  • Case report (single patient)
  • No quantitative exposure parameters (e.g., frequency, power) reported in abstract
  • No comparative/control group described
  • Further clinical application stated as necessary
