Robotic Surgery in Paediatric Oncology

The video-assisted and mini-invasive surgery currently is a considerable development due to the technical progress of the instrumentation involved. It is particularly effective in oncologic surgery both in terms of diagnostic aim and in curative purpose. Many indications, however, need to be discussed with respect to the carcinologic surgery rules. The mini-invasive surgery presents a safe and increased quality of dissection limiting blood loss and allowing early beginning of a post-operative adjuvant treatment. The mini-invasive surgery, particularly the video-assisted surgery, seems to have a good scope in the oncologic surgical management. The place of the robotics surgery will improve for the indications where a better surgical precision will be required.
