Pediatric robotic surgery: An overview

Pediatric robotic surgery offers children a minimally invasive approach with numerous advantages over open or thoracoscopic and laparoscopic surgery. However, despite its widespread adoption for adult patients, the utilization of robotic surgery within pediatrics has been relatively slower to progress. This paper provides an overview of pediatric robotic surgery and discusses benefits, limitations, and strategies for successful implementation of robotics within pediatric surgical practice.
