The advent of minimally invasive surgical techniques in the neonate has been delayed due to the limited working space and the unique physiology of the newborn. In the last decade, with the introduction of new instruments and techniques, many of the initial problems have been solved making minimally invasive surgery feasible for a variety of indications in the neonate and a favored approach in specialized centers around the world. Although an increasing number of reports document the feasibility of this exciting technique, data demonstrating its benefit compared to conventional surgery is limited. This review focuses on recent developments in minimally invasive surgery in neonates and the evidence for its use.
