ABSTRACT
The morphosis from open surgeries to minimally invasive procedures is in greater part owing to the development of robotics. There has been a hiking popularity of robotic assistance for surgeries in recent years. Though a minimally invasive approach for surgery, it poses major challenges for an anesthesiologist that compound further for pediatric patients. The need of the hour for an anesthesiologist is to have a scrupulous knowledge and understanding of the associated anatomical and physiological considerations in case of pediatric patients. Major anesthetic concerns include restricted patient access, physiologic changes of pneumoperitoneum and different operative positions, risk of hypothermia, efficient fluid and peri-operative pain management. Timely anticipation, cautious observation for peri-operative complications and quick intervention to manage the same are warranted to provide high-quality anesthetic care. This simply implies that as robotic surgery plans to stretch up-to zenith, anesthesiologists shall strive to ace their part in robotic pediatric anesthesia as well. With an efficient and dynamic teamwork, robotic-assisted surgeries hold the potential to turn wonders for the future of surgery.
