Abstract
Background
Colorectal surgical procedures may benefit from a minimally invasive approach in children, although there are few studies.
Methods
A retrospective, single-centre observational study was conducted on paediatric patients who underwent colorectal robotic-assisted surgery between 2011 and 2022.
Results
A total of 50 patients (33 male; 17 female) were included, with a median age of 4.8 years (IQR:2.5–6.3 years). The main indication was robotic Soave pull-through for Hirschsprung's disease in 21 cases. No conversions or intraoperative complications were reported. Operative time varied depending on the procedure, with a median of 183 min (IQR:151–224 min). Median hospital stay was 4 days (IQR:3–5 days). Four postoperative complications were observed, two of them Clavien-Dindo IIIb (one colo-anal partial dehiscence and one anastomotic leak after megasigmoid resection). Regarding long-term follow-up (median 7.6 years; IQR:4.8–10.6 years), 4 patients (8%) required surgical reintervention.
Conclusion
Colorectal robotic-assisted surgery encompasses several procedures with low complication rates and satisfactory long-term outcomes.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Medical Robotics and Computer Assisted Surgery provides a cross-disciplinary platform for presenting the latest developments in robotics and computer assisted technologies for medical applications. The journal publishes cutting-edge papers and expert reviews, complemented by commentaries, correspondence and conference highlights that stimulate discussion and exchange of ideas. Areas of interest include robotic surgery aids and systems, operative planning tools, medical imaging and visualisation, simulation and navigation, virtual reality, intuitive command and control systems, haptics and sensor technologies. In addition to research and surgical planning studies, the journal welcomes papers detailing clinical trials and applications of computer-assisted workflows and robotic systems in neurosurgery, urology, paediatric, orthopaedic, craniofacial, cardiovascular, thoraco-abdominal, musculoskeletal and visceral surgery. Articles providing critical analysis of clinical trials, assessment of the benefits and risks of the application of these technologies, commenting on ease of use, or addressing surgical education and training issues are also encouraged. The journal aims to foster a community that encompasses medical practitioners, researchers, and engineers and computer scientists developing robotic systems and computational tools in academic and commercial environments, with the intention of promoting and developing these exciting areas of medical technology.
