Correction of Congenital Hyperinsulinism by Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopy in an Infant.

13 Importantly, we are now observing a clear trend in which robotic surgery is increasingly being applied to pediatric surgical patients, approaching the same utility as in adult patients. 14 The robotic platform requires pediatric surgeons to adapt robotic systems to children’s surgical needs. 15 Furthermore, smaller instruments and surgical techniques are needed to optimize the relatively limited workspace in babies and younger children, in addition to adapting the robot's nuances to the child's physiology. 16 Since it was first performed in 2001, robotic pancreatic surgery in adults has become increasingly popular.
