Summary

Robotic cholecystectomy is a safe and effective procedure for pediatric patients, suitable for introducing robotic surgery programs. Single-site robotic surgery offers cosmetic benefits but requires more operative time than multiport approaches.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Robotic Surgery

Background:

  • Cholecystectomy is a common procedure well-suited for developing pediatric robotic surgery programs.
  • Robotic surgery software can simplify procedures like single-site cholecystectomy by reversing surgeon movements.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of robotic cholecystectomy in pediatric patients.
  • To assess the feasibility of robotic cholecystectomy as an introductory procedure for pediatric surgeons.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of the first nine pediatric patients undergoing robotic cholecystectomy using the Da Vinci® Surgical System.
  • All procedures performed by a single surgeon under proctoring by an experienced robotic surgeon.

Main Results:

  • Nine patients (8 female, ages 10-18) underwent robotic cholecystectomy for biliary dyskinesia or symptomatic cholelithiasis.
  • No complications or conversions to open surgery were reported. Eight patients were discharged on the same day.
  • Single-site robotic cholecystectomy (5 patients) had longer anesthesia and console times compared to multiport (4 patients).

Conclusions:

  • Robotic cholecystectomy is a safe and effective procedure for pediatric patients.
  • It serves as a suitable introductory procedure for pediatric surgeons establishing robotic surgery programs.
  • Single-site robotic cholecystectomy is cosmetically advantageous but technically more time-consuming than multiport robotic cholecystectomy.
