ROBOTIC SURGERY OF WILMS TUMOUR: TIME TO EXPAND THE FRONTIERS OF MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGERY?

In brief

This study examines robotic-assisted surgical approaches for Wilms tumor in children, exploring whether the technique can be safely applied beyond current international guidelines for minimally invasive procedures. The research evaluates surgical feasibility, patient safety, and cancer treatment outcomes.

• Robotic-assisted surgery for Wilms tumour may be feasible beyond current SIOP-RTSG minimally invasive surgery criteria.
• Study evaluates safety and oncological outcomes of RAS in pediatric Wilms tumour cases.
• Findings may support expanding indications for minimally invasive approaches in pediatric renal tumours.
