What is Robotic Pediatric Surgery?

In a robotic-assisted pediatric surgery, the surgeon will sit at a console some feet away from the child while observing a 3D video screen. The surgeon will use the hand and foot pedals to control a robot with three or four arms.
  • One arm 3D camera. The camera will send the picture of the organ to the video screen.
  • The other two or three arms are used for holding small surgical tools. The surgeon will insert the tools through small-sized cuts in specific sections of the child's body, the area requiring treatment.

When is Robotic Pediatric Surgery Needed?

surgery. Urological surgical procedures are used across different organs of the child’s body. These procedures make use of the robots for:
  • Repairing the bowels
  • Taking out gallbladders
  • Removing tumors and other unknown masses
  • Stopping backflow of urine into kidneys
  • Repairing blocked kidneys
  • Fixing issues with the esophagus

What does surgery involve?

Robotic-assisted pediatric surgery typically involves the use of the latest generation of the Da Vinci Operating Robot for executing complex procedures in children. The use of a robotic surgical system in pediatric robotic surgery delivers the assurance of improved maneuverability and highly accurate reconstruction in children.

What are the potential complications possible after the surgery?

Pediatric robotic surgery tends to be slightly more complicated than adult robotic surgery as the abdomen of children is smaller. However, as Dr. Gursev makes use of the revolutionary Da Vinci Surgical System Single port system to carry out the surgery, only a single port is required -resulting into less pain, a better cosmetic outcome, and faster recovery.

Precaution needed to be taken after the surgery

  • For the first 48 hours, only sponge bath your child
  • Do not submerge the incision in bath for around one week of the surgery
  • As pain becomes well-controlled, your child can return to daily activities

Frequently Asked Questions

With robotic procedures, the overall healing time and hospital stays are relatively shorter when compared to conventional open surgery and even laparoscopic surgery
Robotic pediatric surgery is performed with robotic devices. Your surgeon makes small incisions into the child’s body and a 3D camera is installed to monitor the entire surgery.
After a minimally-invasive robotic surgery, there is no requirement of bed rest at home. Patients can experience some fatigue, but can resume daily activities quite normally.
Most can return back to normal after 1 week.
Usually, most patients are able to go home the day after the surgery.
Negative impacts only include some fatigue and slight pain in the region.
Robotic pediatric surgery can cost around 10-20% more than conventional surgery but a lot of this extra cost is offset by shorter hospital stay and early return to full activity.
