Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is effective for resecting various pediatric solid tumors, offering good cosmetic results and faster recovery. Further research is needed to confirm its role in malignant tumor resection.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Limited experience exists for minimally invasive surgery (MIS) in pediatric solid tumor resection.
  • This study reports on the application of MIS for managing pediatric solid tumors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of MIS for pediatric solid tumor resection.
  • To assess outcomes including success rates, complications, and cosmetic results.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective review of 38 pediatric patients who underwent MIS for solid tumors between 1995 and 2005.
  • Data collected included tumor type, age, operative time, conversion rates, and follow-up outcomes.

Main Results:

Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Splenectomy In Children: A Case Report with Literature Review

Published on: March 27, 2026

  • 38 patients underwent MIS for various tumors (ovarian, sacrococcygeal, adrenal, etc.).
  • Successful resection was achieved in 78.9% of cases; 8 patients required conversion to open surgery.
  • No postoperative complications were observed, and no recurrence was noted at a mean follow-up of 3.1 years, with good cosmetic results.

    • Conclusions:

    • Advanced MIS techniques allow safe resection of diverse pediatric solid tumors.
    • Potential benefits include faster recovery and improved cosmetic outcomes.
    • The role of MIS in malignant tumor resection requires further investigation due to small sample size.
