Abstract

Robotic-assisted pediatric urological surgery has emerged as a valid and reliable surgical therapy, which maintains the advantages of the minimally invasive approach but avoids the restrictions of laparoscopic surgery. The ideal application of the robot in the Pediatric population is in procedures requiring delicate suturing such as pyeloplasty or partial nephrectomy although the use of robotic surgery has been reported in a wide range of other procedures, particularly the diverse reconstructive pediatric operations. In this article, we review the current indications and results of robotics in the management of pediatric pathology.
