Rectal surgery for hirschsprung's disease in a single pediatric tertiary care center: improvement of rectal dissection following the introduction of robotic technology
The advantages of robotic technology allow for safer performance of pelvic and particularly rectal surgery. Based on our experience, we suggest that in selected patients with HD, Restorative Proctocolectomy with minimal transanal endorectal dissection can be safely performed using robotic assistance in Centers with advanced minimally invasive expertise in HD management.
