ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION:

Even though certain technical limitations associated with the small size of the patients were taken for granted in the advent of pediatric robotic surgery, we could now be facing a paradigm shift challenging these old beliefs. MATERIALS AND

METHODS:

A retrospective study of patients undergoing Da-Vinci-Xi(IS4000)-assisted urological surgery from May 2022 to October 2023 was carried out. Patients were divided into two groups -Group A < 15 kg and Group B ≥ 15 kg. Operating times, hospital stay, and intra- and postoperative complications were compared.

RESULTS:

17 patients (9 in Group A, 8 in Group B) underwent surgery. Median age was 29 months (A) and 109 months (B) (p< 0.001). Median weight was 12.0 kg (A) and 31.5 kg (p< 0.001). Operating time was 162 min (A) and 130 min (p= 0.203). Console time was 99 min (A) and 70 min (B) (p= 0.065). Mean hospital stay was 2 days (A) and 3 days (B) (p= 0.41). No differences were found in terms of intraoperative (p= 0.453) or postoperative (p= 0.485) complications.

CONCLUSIONS:

Even though operating on younger children seemed more complicated than on older ones in the advent of robotic surgery, the results in our series were similar. The fact patients under 12 months of age were not included means larger studies are required to prove this.
RESUMEN

INTRODUCCION:

Aunque en los inicios de la cirugía robótica pediátrica solíamos asumir la existencia de ciertas limitaciones técnicas asociadas al pequeño tamaño de nuestros pacientes, podríamos encontrarnos ante un cambio de paradigma y cuestionar estas antiguas creencias. MATERIAL Y

METODOS:

Estudio retrospectivo que incluye los pacientes a los que se les practicó una cirugía urológica asistida por robot Da Vinci Xi (IS4000), entre mayo de 2022 y octubre de 2023. Se dividieron en dos grupos A < 15 kg, B ≥ 15 kg. Se compararon tiempos quirúrgicos, estancia hospitalaria y complicaciones intra y postoperatorias.

RESULTADOS:

Intervenimos 17 pacientes (9 A, 8 B). Edad mediana 29 (A) y 109 meses (B) (p < 0,001). Peso mediano A 12 kg, B 31,5 kg (p < 0,001). Tiempo quirúrgico A 162 min, B 130 min (p= 0,203). Tiempo de consola A 99 min, B 70 min (p= 0,065). Estancia media A 2, B 3 días (p= 0,41). No se encontraron diferencias en la tasa de complicaciones intraoperatorias (p= 0,453) ni postoperatorias (p=0,485).

CONCLUSIONES:

A pesar de que al comienzo de la cirugía robótica se pensaba que sería más complicado operar a los niños pequeños que a los más mayores, en nuestra serie los resultados son similares. Por no incluir menores de 12 meses, necesitamos estudios más extensos para probar estas afirmaciones.
