Current Status of Pediatric Robot-Assisted Surgery in Italy: Epidemiologic National Survey and Future Directions.

Pediatric robot-assisted surgery (RAS) is gaining increasing acceptance. We aimed to assess the diffusion of pediatric RAS in Italy, the training period, indications, preliminary outcomes, and limitations. An online questionnaire-based survey was performed. The data about robotic activity of 9 Italian Pediatric Surgery units were collected and analyzed. Most of the participating centers (7/9, 7...
