Résumé

Isolated parenchymal splenic relapse is a rare condition experienced by patients presenting with recurrent ovarian cancer (ROC). In such cases, complete secondary cytoreductive surgery (SCS) followed by chemotherapy offers significant overall survival benefits for platinum-sensitive ROC patients. Randomized trials such as DESKTOP-3 and SOC-1 described splenectomy during SCS in 6-15% of patients. Robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) and advanced three-dimensional (3D) imaging reconstruction can be integrated when choosing minimally invasive surgery (MIS) to reduce the risks associated with splenic procedures. METHODOLOGY: The case of a 70-year-old BRCA2-mutated patient with single-site splenic ROC is presented. Computed tomography (CT) scan was reviewed by an expert radiologist during a multidisciplinary tumor board. The images were manually segmented using 3D Slicer software to obtain the final 3D reconstruction. Using the da Vinci Xi™ robot (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA, USA), a medial-to-lateral spleen dissection was performed. Several key surgical steps were followed to avoid tumor manipulation and subsequently minimize potential neoplastic spread.
