Area of Science:

  • Pediatric surgery
  • Minimally invasive surgery
  • Robotic surgery

Background:

  • Robotic surgery offers potential advantages in minimally invasive procedures.
  • Enhanced dexterity, tremor filtration, and motion scaling are key features.
  • The Zeus Microwrist system was selected for its applicability in pediatric patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of robotic surgery in pediatric patients.
  • To compare the Zeus Microwrist system with other robotic surgical systems.

Main Methods:

  • Fifty-seven surgical procedures were attempted using the Zeus Microwrist robotic system.
  • Procedures included Nissen fundoplication, cholecystectomy, and various complex repairs.
  • Data on procedure time and surgeon feedback were collected.

Published on: February 7, 2025

Main Results:

  • Fifty-four out of 57 attempted procedures were successfully completed.
  • No robot-related complications occurred.
  • Surgeons reported improved ease in dissection, suturing, and knot tying, with no critical impact from lack of haptic feedback.

Conclusions:

  • Robotic surgery provides enhanced dexterity for pediatric minimally invasive procedures.
  • Procedures using robotic assistance require longer operating times.
  • Robotic surgery presents future opportunities in surgical training, planning, and telesurgery.
