Robotic surgical systems are becoming more common in adult surgery. This review examines the growing use and literature of these advanced systems in pediatric surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally invasive surgery
  • Pediatric surgical oncology
  • Robotic surgery

Background:

  • Computer-enhanced robotic surgical systems are increasingly utilized for complex minimal access procedures in adults.
  • Applications in adult surgery include coronary artery bypass grafting, mitral valve repair, and various resections.
  • Experience with robotic systems in pediatric surgery is less extensive but rapidly expanding.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current experimental and clinical literature on the application of robotic surgical systems in pediatric patients.
  • To highlight the growing interest and experience in robotic pediatric surgery.
  • To provide an overview of the evolving role of robotics in pediatric surgical care.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature search of experimental and clinical studies.
