Pediatric Laparoscopic and Robotic Surgery
Pediatric Laparoscopic Surgery
Laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery is performed using small incisions through which a camera and fine instruments are inserted. The surgeon operates while viewing magnified images on a screen.
Common Laparoscopic Procedures
Appendicectomy
Inguinal hernia repair
Orchiopexy (undescended testis)
Meckel’s diverticulum removal
Ovarian cyst surgery
Diagnostic laparoscopy
Fundoplication (for severe reflux)
Ladd’s procedure (malrotation)
Common Laparoscopic Pediatric Urology
Laparoscopic ureteric reimplantation
Laparoscopic pyeloplasty
Laparoscopic nephrectomy / partial nephrectomy
Laparoscopic diverticulectomy
Common Thoracoscopic surgeries
VATS decortication for empyema (pus in chest)
Thoracoscopic lymph node / lung biopsy
Thoracoscopic diaphragmatic hernia repair
Thoracoscopic trachea-esophageal fistula repair
Thoracoscopic tumor / cyst excision
Thoracoscopic lung resections

Pediatric Robotic Surgery
Robotic surgery is an advanced form of minimally invasive surgery. The surgeon controls robotic arms from a console, allowing enhanced precision, tremor filtration, and 3D high-definition visualization. This is particularly useful in delicate reconstructive procedures.
Common Robotic Procedures
Pyeloplasty (PUJ obstruction)
Ureteric reimplantation (vesicoureteral reflux)
Complex ureteric reconstruction
Choledochal cyst excision
Selected redo or complex abdominal surgeries
Benefits of Minimally Invasive Surgery
Smaller scars
Less postoperative pain
Reduced hospital stay
Faster return to normal activity
Better cosmetic outcomes
The choice between laparoscopic and robotic surgery depends on the child’s condition, age, and complexity of the procedure.
