The Center for Robotic Surgery's robust research program is focused on finding safe and innovative applications for this technology. Children's Hospital Boston is one of the only pediatric hospitals to perform clinical assessments and outcome analysis - measuring and analyzing the outcomes of robotic surgeries versus open surgeries to ensure the use of the surgical robot is always advantageous to the patient.

Researchers from Children's developed and perfected the technique for performing robotically-assisted pediatric pyeloplasties, and have recently completed an 18-month study that showed that the same technique is effective for bladder augmentation procedures. Results from research conducted here have also led to advances and refinements in the robotic equipment, making it more suitable for use in pediatric surgery.
