Robotic Urological Surgery in Children

Gail E Besner

While robotic surgery has shown clear utility and advantages within the adult population, its role in medical specialty remains controversial. Pediatric-sized robotic instruments and instrumentation aren't without delay offered nevertheless, thus bound modifications are often created so as to create robotic surgery victorious in kids. Whereas the value of robotic surgery remains high compared to open procedures, patients expertise bigger satisfaction and quality of life with robotic surgery [1]. Robotic pyeloplasty may be a normal of care in older kids, and has even been performed in infants and re-do surgery. Different robotic procedures performed in kids embody heminephroureterectomy, ureteroureterostomy, ureteral reimplantation, urachal cyst excision, bladder diverticulectomy, and bladder constructive procedures like augmentation, appendicovesicostomy, antegrade continence clyster, bladder neck reconstruction and sling, further as different procedures. Robotic surgery has conjointly been employed in medical specialty cases like partial excision and retroperitoneal lymphoid tissue dissection. Future enhancements in technology with production of pediatric-sized robotic instruments, in conjunction with will increase in robotic-trained medical specialty urologists and operating surgeon expertise on each's learning curve can facilitate to any advance the sphere of robotic surgery in medical specialty medical specialty [2].
