Robotic surgery in children is not widely adopted due to surgeon unfamiliarity and instrument size limitations. This review explores the ongoing debates surrounding its use in pediatric surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Pediatric Surgical Oncology
  • Surgical Robotics

Context:

  • Robotic surgery is extensively utilized in adult procedures but faces significant challenges in pediatric applications.
  • Pediatric surgeons often lack awareness regarding robotic equipment, its benefits, and specific indications.
  • The adoption of robotic technology in pediatric surgery remains limited and controversial.

Purpose:

  • To present and discuss the controversies surrounding the implementation and use of robotic surgery in pediatric procedures.
  • To highlight the perceived benefits, such as enhanced dexterity and visualization, against the drawbacks.
  • To address the barriers hindering wider acceptance, including cost and the availability of pediatric-sized instruments.

  • Dexterity and improved surgical field visualization are key advantages of robotic systems.
  • High costs and the lack of appropriately sized instruments for smaller patients are major limitations.
  • The overall benefit of robotic surgery in pediatrics is still a subject of debate and requires further investigation.

    • Impact:

    • This review aims to inform pediatric surgeons about the current state of robotic surgery, aiding in decision-making.
    • Understanding the controversies can guide future research and development of pediatric-specific robotic technology.
    • Facilitating a balanced perspective on robotic surgery adoption in pediatric care.
