Journal ArticleDOI
Robot-assisted vs laparoscopic pyeloplasty in children with uretero-pelvic junction obstruction (UPJO): technical considerations and results.
Ciro Esposito,Lorenzo Masieri,Marco Castagnetti,Simone Sforza,Alessandra Farina,Mariapina Cerulo,Chiara Cini,Fulvia Del Conte,Maria Escolino +8 more
TL;DR: The study experience suggested that RALP and LP give excellent results in children with UPJO, and robotic surgery should be indicated in patients older than 18-24 months with a body weight > 10-15 Kgs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty in children: a systematic review.
Lorenzo Masieri,Simone Sforza,Antonio Andrea Grosso,Francesca Valastro,Riccardo Tellini,Chiara Cini,Luca Landi,Maria Taverna,Antonio Elia,Alberto Mantovani,Andrea Minervini,Marco Carini +11 more
TL;DR: RALP offers excellent outcomes in the pediatric population, however, there is still a strong need for higher quality evidence in the form of prospective observational studies and clinical trials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Robert Bergholz,Sanne M. B. I. Botden,Johannes W. Verweij,Stefaan H. A. J. Tytgat,Wim G. van Gemert,Michael Boettcher,Heiko Ehlert,Konrad Reinshagen,Stefano Gidaro +8 more
TL;DR: With the introduction of 3-mm instruments in a new robotic surgical system, this system was able to perform intracorporal suturing and knot tying in cavities as small as 90 ml, demonstrating a learning curve.

Advances and Trends in Pediatric Minimally Invasive Surgery.
Andreas Meinzer,Ibrahim Alkatout,Thomas Krebs,Jonas Baastrup,Katja Reischig,Roberts Meiksans,Robert Bergholz +6 more
TL;DR: The aim of this review is to summarize the current state of minimally invasive pediatric surgery and specifically focus on the trends and developments which the authors expect in the upcoming years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does the body weight influence the outcome in children treated with robotic pyeloplasty
Lorenzo Masieri,Simone Sforza,Antonio Andrea Grosso,Chiara Cini,Lorenzo Viola,Riccardo Tellini,Andrea Mari,Fabrizio Di Maida,Andrea Minervini,Marco Carini +9 more
TL;DR: RALP in children <15 kg was feasible and effective to treat UPJO with superimposable results to heavier counterparts; however, this study shows some intrinsic limitations.

Robot-assisted and Laparoscopic Repair of Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Riccardo Autorino,Riccardo Autorino,Christopher G. Eden,Alaa El-Ghoneimi,Giorgio Guazzoni,Nicolò Maria Buffi,Craig A. Peters,Robert J. Stein,Matthew T. Gettman +8 more
TL;DR: Robotic pyeloplasty is likely to emerge as the new minimally invasive standard of care whenever robotic technology is available because its precise suturing and shorter learning curve represent unique attractive features.

National Trends of Perioperative Outcomes and Costs for Open, Laparoscopic and Robotic Pediatric Pyeloplasty
Briony Varda,Briony Varda,Emilie K. Johnson,Curtis Clark,Benjamin I. Chung,Caleb P. Nelson,Steven L. Chang +6 more
TL;DR: A higher cost associated with robotic pyeloplasty was driven by operating room use and robotic equipment costs, which nullified low room and board cost, while length of stay was equivalent across all procedures.
