Hemolymphangioma of the jejunum is rare and lacks clinical specificity, and can manifest as gastrointestinal bleeding, abdominal pain, and intestinal obstruction. Computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and other examinations show certain characteristics of the disease, but lack accuracy. Although capsule endoscopy and enteroscopy make up for this deficiency, the diagnosis also still re
A male patient was admitted to the hospital due to abdominal distension and abdominal pain, but a specific diagnosis by computed tomography examination was not obtained. Partial resection of the small intestine was performed by robotic surgery, and postoperative pathological biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of hemo
Robotic surgery is an effective way to treat hemolymphangioma through minima
Core Tip: Endoscopy and computed tomography are often used for the diagnosis of hemolymphangioma of the jejunum. Laparotomy is a traditional treatment for this tumor. Our study was the first to introduce robotic surgical techniques, bringing new possibilities for the treatment of this tumor. This procedure can reduce surgical trauma and pain and accelerate recovery. In addition, robotic surgery can also improve the accuracy of the procedure. The presented patient recovered quickly and had no serious complications. Our results indicate that robotic surgery for jejunal angiolangioma is feasible, and provides better treatment options for the patients.
