RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Total cyst excision and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy is the standard procedure for treating congenital choledochal cysts, which requires high surgical skills. Our aim is to introduce the experience with the SHURUI single-port robotic system in pediatric surgery. PRESENTATION OF CASE: In this study, we present a case demonstrating the application of the SHURUI single-port robotic system in performing choledochal cyst excision and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy in a pediatric patients. Roux-en-Y anastomosis was constructed extracorporeally, then choledochal cyst excision and hepaticojejunostomy was performed intracorporally using the SHURUI Surgical System. Surgical complications and the wound outcomes were assessed. The total duration of the operation was 292 min, comprising an extracorporeal time of 45 min, docking time of 19 min, and intracorporal time of 183 min. The estimated blood loss was minimal at only 2 mL. The patient was discharged 6 days post-operation, and exhibited satisfactory recovery at the one-month follow-up. DISCUSSION: This case represents an initial experience with the SHURUI Surgical System in managing a pediatric choledochal cyst. The results indicate that the system is feasible and safe for this procedure, and may have some advantages over laparoscopic and open approaches. CONCLUSION: The SHURUI Surgical System is both feasible and safe in pediatric surgery, and it may offer certain advantages over laparoscopic and open approaches.
