Recent Developments in the Use of Robotic Technology in Pediatric Urology.

Expert review of medical devices
Robotic surgery affords refined surgical movements that exceed the natural range of motion of the human hand, combined with high definition three-dimensional visualization and superior magnification. While open surgery has long been the standard of c...

Robot-assisted laparoscopic management of duplex renal anomaly: Comparison of surgical outcomes to traditional pure laparoscopic and open surgery.

Journal of pediatric urology
INTRODUCTION: Surgical management of duplex renal anomaly (DRA) is complex because of individual anatomic variation, competing priorities of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) and ureteral obstruction present in the same child, the varied differential funct...

Robot-Assisted Ureteral Reconstruction Using Buccal Mucosa.

Urology
OBJECTIVE: To describe the technique of robotic buccal mucosa graft ureteroplasty as a minimally invasive alternative method of ureteral reconstruction for proximal or multifocal ureteral strictures not amenable to primary anastomosis.

Is peri-operative urethral catheter drainage enough? The case for stentless pediatric robotic pyeloplasty.

Journal of pediatric urology
BACKGROUND: The necessity for urinary diversion with trans-anastomotic ureteral stenting during pyeloplasty is currently under debate. Performing a stentless repair could eliminate stent-related morbidity, including: stent migration, urinary tract in...

Robotic-Assisted Ureteral Re-implantation: A Case Series.

Journal of laparoendoscopic & advanced surgical techniques. Part A
INTRODUCTION: Minimally invasive surgical techniques are currently used for numerous urologic disorders and generally offer decreased morbidity and equivalent outcomes compared with open surgery. There is a relative paucity of data on robot-assisted ...

Development of a standardised training curriculum for robotic surgery: a consensus statement from an international multidisciplinary group of experts.

BJU international
OBJECTIVES: To explore the views of experts about the development and validation of a robotic surgery training curriculum, and how this should be implemented.

Comparing the efficacy and safety between robotic-assisted versus open pyeloplasty in children: a systemic review and meta-analysis.

World journal of urology
OBJECTIVE: This manuscript is mainly to systemically review the published reports that compared the efficacy and safety of robotic-assisted (RP) versus open pyeloplasty (OP) in children with ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO).

Laparoscopic and Robotic-assisted Vesicovaginal Fistula Repair: A Systematic Review of the Literature.

Journal of minimally invasive gynecology
Two types of laparoscopic or robotic-assisted vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) repairs, the traditional transvesical (O'Conor) and extravesical techniques, dominate the literature. The objectives of this study are to compare success rates between laparosc...

How to decide which infant can have robotic surgery? Just do the math.

Journal of pediatric urology
BACKGROUND: In pediatric urology, robot-assisted surgery has overcome several impediments of conventional laparoscopy. However, workspace has a major impact on surgical performance. The limited space in an infant can significantly impede the mobility...
