Abstract

INTRODUCTION:  There have been numerous reports of robotic pediatric surgery in the literature, particularly regarding urological procedures for school-aged children. Thoracic procedures appear to be less common, despite the fact that encouraging results were reported more than 10 years. Our aim was to report a national experience of esophageal robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (ERATS) and to discuss the most appropriate indications.
