Abstract
Background: Recent technological advances have enabled pediatric urologist to push the envelope of minimally invasive techniques. Recently, implementing robots into laparoscopic procedures has enabled the mitigation of certain drawbacks, opening the door for the implementation of minimally invasive techniques. The purpose of this review is to identify the current state surrounding robotic surgery and explore future directions for the field.
Methods: The authors undertook a literature search to explore the current state of robotic surgery in pediatric procedures.
Results: While operative times are longer for robotic surgery, robotic surgery operations have reported shorter post-operative hospital stays, lower pain medication use, and similar success rates relative to open procedures. New advances in training may enable improved training paradigms for novice surgeons, decreasing future operative times.
Conclusion: Evidence from the field suggests robotic surgery is an optimal alternative to open procedures, conferring advantages to both the patient and surgeon.
期刊介绍：
The journal presents original contributions as well as a complete international abstracts section and other special departments to provide the most current source of information and references in pediatric surgery. The journal is based on the need to improve the surgical care of infants and children, not only through advances in physiology, pathology and surgical techniques, but also by attention to the unique emotional and physical needs of the young patient.
