Robotic surgery in pediatric urology

摘要

Robotic surgery revolutionized minimally invasive surgery. Urology is the widest surgical field in implementing robotic technology. Pediatric urology followed the footsteps of adult urology in utilizing da Vinci™ surgical system for urinary tract reconstruction. Indeed, day after day robotics is gaining more applications and popularity in pediatric urology due to the need for less invasive approach to reconstruct the urinary tract in pediatric population. In this manuscript, we reviewed in this article the steps of evolution of robotic pediatric urology.
