“…In our case series, we observed a high prevalence of cholecystectomy and nephrectomy. There is a wide consensus in considering robotic unappropriated for these interventions, since both can be safely performed laparoscopically with a low risk of complications, lower cost, and same cosmetic result [16][17][18][19][20][21].…”

Background The minimally invasive surgery (MIS) in term of robot-assisted surgery changed in a dramatic way the surgical approach either in adults or children. For many specialties (urology, gynecology, general surgery) robotic surgery rapidly became the gold standard for some procedures, while the experience in pediatric population is not wide for some reasons. The aim of this study is to retrospective analyze trends of application of robotic surgery in pediatric patients across the country, focusing on indications, limitations, development, and training acquired by national experience and in comparison to the literature. Methods We made a retrospective multicenter study on behalf of Italian Society of Pediatric Surgery. We performed a census among all pediatric surgery units in the country to enroll those performing robotic surgery on children between 2013 and 2019. Results We enrolled 7 pediatric surgery referral Centers (Ancona, Bologna, Brescia, Genova, Pavia, Pescara, Siena). A total of 303 patients were included in the study, 164 males (54%) and 139 females (46%). The most commonly performed interventions for each anatomic area were respectively atypical pulmonary resection (38%), pyeloplasty (49%), and fundoplication (30%). Conclusions Since its first application in Italy, about 10 years ago, several considerations were made about application and feasibility of robotics in children.

“…Symptomatic cysts require intervention. Modalities include endoscopic deroofing, transrectal ultrasound guided or transperineal cyst aspiration and sclerotherapy, endoscopic fulguration of cyst lining ( 1 , 2 ), marsupialisation of cyst into bladder ( 3 ), open / laparoscopic ( 4 ) excision of cyst, and recently robot assisted surgical excision ( 5 ).…”

Accidental cystectomy during laparoscopic excision of prostatic utricle cyst - a rare complication

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Prostatic utricle cyst is a rare congenital anomaly. Symptomatic cysts require treatment. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice, but is challenging due to close proximity to vas deferens, ejaculatory ducts, bladder, prostate, rectum and pelvic nerves. Complications include rectal injury, ureteral injury, impotence, infertility and faecal incontinence. We here report a rare complication in which bladder was accidentally removed during laparoscopic excision of prostatic utricle cyst. To best of our knowledge such a complication has never been reported previously. We also describe the possible cause of this accident and suggest ways to prevent this disastrous complication.

“…18 Those surgeries that must access the pelvis and therefore have a narrow field may well suit a robotic approach. Indeed, there are reports of robotic-assisted excision of bladder diverticulum, 19 urachal cyst excision, 20 excision of posterior urethral diverticulae, 21 prostatic utricles, 22 seminal vesicle cyst, 23 and varicocele. 24 Paediatric general surgery As in adult surgery, inguinal hernia repairs are commonplace in paediatrics, although they are performed usually through a smaller open inguinal incision.…”
