Abstract
Background
The purpose of this study was to share our experiences with robot-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy (RALN) for WT in children and to discuss the technical points and indications.
Methods
Patients with WT undergoing RALN between May 2020 and December 2022 were retrospectively analysed. Patient demographics, operative details, postoperative outcomes and follow-up were recorded.
Results
A total of 10 patients with WT who underwent RALN were enrolled in this study. The tumour diameter at operation was 70.2 ± 26.1 mm. The median tumour-abdominal volume ratio (TAVR) was 6.8% (range, 1.9%–14.8%). RALN was successfully performed in all the 10 patients without conversion, tumour rupture or operative complications. No local recurrence or death occurred during the follow-up period.
Conclusion
RALN for the treatment of WT in children appears to be safe and feasible in selected patients. Robotic surgery offers an effective alternative to laparoscopic surgery, appropriately expanding indications when performed by experienced surgeons.
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.
