Abstract

Pediatric minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has grown immensely in the last two decades. From the development of smaller instruments, pediatric minimally invasive surgery is constantly evolving to best suit the needs of the littlest of patients. Here we discuss the pediatric MIS early experiences, challenges and hurdles, instrumentation details, insufflation pressures and child physiology, and pediatric robotic experience. The goal is to provide an overview of each topic, and in doing so, we hope to shed light on the gaps and needs that exist within pediatric minimally invasive surgery.
