Abstract
We are dealing with pediatric patients. Pediatric open surgical results are already excellent. So indications and results should be carefully assessed. There should be the least possible blood and nephron loss. In children, the space is very limited for trocar placement. Working space is also limited, especially when using the retroperitoneal approach. Monopolar diathermy should be used with extreme caution. We prefer using bipolar diathermy at all times.
