Abstract

Today, Minimally Invasive Paediatric Endoscopic Surgery (MIPES) is a consolidated and universally-accepted surgical tool of indispensable use in our daily work.

Breakthroughs in instrument design and advanced equipment, many of which have become highly sophisticated, make it essential for Paediatric Surgeons to know about the characteristics of the multiple devices and instruments that exist on this specialized market sector in detail.

From the first surgical use, we must already know perfectly the characteristics, proper use and, above all, possible risks, dangers or collateral effects that can arise from an inappropriate use.
