The benefits of robotic surgery are yet controversial as the length of operations at the beginning seems to be significantly longer. However, in the era of minimal invasive surgery, robotic systems provide a remarkable assistance in some specific surgical fields such as prostatectomy, adrenalectomy, colectomy or splenectomy. In this report we presented our first experience of robotic splenectomy for splenic hydatidosis.
