PROSPECTS OF ROBOTIC SURGERY IN PEDIATRIC SURGERY

Robotic surgery is becoming an increasingly important component of modern surgical medicine, creating new opportunities for improving the precision and effectiveness of minimally invasive procedures. Its application in pediatric surgery is particularly interesting because operations in children involve specific anatomical and physiological challenges that distinguish them from adult surgical practice. Smaller anatomical structures, limited operative spaces, and the need to preserve developing organs require a high level of surgical accuracy. Conventional laparoscopic techniques have considerably improved pediatric surgical care, but certain technical limitations remain, particularly during complex reconstructive procedures. Robotic-assisted systems offer several potential advantages, including three-dimensional visualization, improved instrument articulation, motion scaling, and tremor filtration.
