Abstract
Minimally invasive surgery in pediatric urology has undergone a paradigm shift with the incorporation of the da Vinci surgical system. Following the popularity of robotic radical prostatectomy, several pediatric urological surgeries have been performed successfully with the da Vinci robot, including pyeloplasty, nephrectomy, partial nephrectomy, ureteral reimplantation, and appendicovesicostomy.
