Cost, training and simulation models for robotic-assisted surgery in pediatric urology.

摘要: Laparoscopic procedures in pediatric urology have been shown to be safe and effective over the last number of years. Coupled with this is technological trend provide minimally invasive options for even most complex patients. Whilst robotic platforms continue try demonstrate superior patient outcomes adults mixed results, utilization increasing. A review current literature was undertaken assess evidence training models cost-effectiveness robotic-assisted urology. growing body field has demonstrated that are children can additional reconstructive benefits due motion scaling, magnification, stereoscopic views, instrument dexterity tremor reduction. The main drawbacks remain financial implications associated platform through purchase, maintenance, disposable costs. This addresses some issues pertaining cost, simulation surgery
