Collaborating with our adult colleagues: A case series of robotic surgery for suspicious and cancerous lesions in children and young adults performed in a free-standing children’s hospital
Journal of Pediatric Urology Feb 21, 2018
Varda BK, et al. - Researchers herein assessed the clinical and oncologic outcomes in children and young adults who underwent robotic surgery for suspicious or cancerous lesions of the genitourinary (GU) tract. They also described the collaborative model between an adult and pediatric surgeon at a free-standing children’s hospital. In this study, surgeries were performed seamlessly through a step-wise collaboration between an adult urologist who routinely performed robotic oncology procedures and a pediatric urologist experienced in robotics for benign conditions. Findings suggested that it was feasible to use the robotic approach in carefully selected cases. For genitourinary oncology cases in children and young adults, robotic techniques were safely and effectively adapted.
