摘要

The surgical armamentarium of the pediatric urologist has changed greatly in the past 2 decades on account of new technology and careful adaptation of minimally invasive techniques in children. Conventional laparoscopy, robotic-assisted laparoscopy, laparoendoscopic single-site surgery, and endourologic surgery have, to varying degrees, provided new approaches to urologic surgery in the pediatric population. This article reviews the technology and adaptations behind these recent advances as well as their current applications in management of urologic disease in children.
