About this Video

Robotic-assisted surgery is a type of minimally invasive surgery that uses small incisions and special instruments to help surgeons operate with greater precision. This can help children recover faster, heal better, and have smaller scars, especially when treating complex urologic conditions. Experts in our Robotic Surgery and Training Program have experience using this technology to care for even very young children and those with challenging anatomy.
In this video, our pediatric specialists explain how robotic-assisted surgery is different from traditional laparoscopic surgery and how it helps surgeons provide safe, careful care for children.
