Transperitoneal and retroperitoneal robot-assisted urology in infants ≤ 10 kg: A FRUCT multi-centre study
This study demonstrates that robot-assisted urological surgery is feasible and safe in infants as young as three months of age. The reduced workspace does not appear to limit this surgical approach, whether via transperitoneal or retroperitoneal approach.
