Role Of Robotic Surgery In Children
This is an era of minimal-invasive surgery, which includes Laparoscopic Surgery and Robotic Surgery. Laparoscopic surgery has been used for more than three decades but still has its own limitations in the form of a long learning curve and limited range of movement, especially in children with small body cavities requiring reconstructive surgeries.
In robotic-assisted surgery (RAS), the surgeon sits beside the patient on a console and manipulates robotic arms with articulated instruments that are controlled by the surgeon’s hand. The surgeon’s hand movements are transmitted inside the patient's body to perform precise dissection and suture.
The RAS has the advantage of providing high definition and magnified 3D vision along with the 7 Degrees of freedom of movement.
This is an advantage, especially in children, because of their miniature size. This helps surgeons not only to perform surgery with great precision but also significantly reduces surgical stress.
Since 2002, when robotic surgery was started, its application in children has expanded in performing a wide range of pediatric urologist surgeries like pyeloplasty in pelvic-ureteric junction, obstruction ureteric reimplant in Vesicoureteric reflux, Heminephrectomy, Nephrectomy for renal tumors, etc. It is also being used now in Thoracic and gastrointestinal surgeries. RAS can be performed in all age groups, including newborns and infants.
The currently available studies suggest that the safety and outcome of RAS surgeries are almost the same compared to conventional surgeries.
Looking at the advantages of robotic surgery, it is important to make use of its benefits for the Paediatric population. RAS's safety and surgical outcome will undoubtedly revolutionize surgical management in children.
