In brief
This review examines emerging surgical techniques for Wilms tumor resection in children, including minimally invasive approaches (laparoscopic and robotic), image-guided and fluorescence-guided surgery, intraoperative ultrasound, and enhanced lymph node sampling methods. These technical advances aim to improve surgical precision and outcomes in pediatric kidney cancer treatment.
Written by the GCMD Library team from the article.
Surgery is one of the cornerstones of Wilms tumor treatment. In this article, we present technical advancements that are finding their way into the armamentarium of pediatric cancer surgeons. We discuss the current approaches, challenges, opportunities, and future directions of minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopic and robotics), image-guided surgery, and fluorescence-guided surgery. Furthermore, we discuss the use of intraoperative ultrasonography, as well as the use of new techniques to improve the quality of lymph node sampling.
