Multi-port laparoscopic versus single-site robotic with DaVinci Xi® elective cholecystectomy in adolescents: A single center 5-year review

jpedsurg.org

Previous studies in adults have shown similar outcomes between single-site robotic-assisted cholecystectomy (RA-C) and multi-port laparoscopic-assisted cholecystectomy (LA-C). However, corresponding reports in the pediatric population remain limited. Following our previous comparative analysis using the DaVinci Si® robotic platform, the aim of the current study was to compare robotic vs. laparoscopic cholecystectomy techniques in the adolescent population using the DaVinci Xi® system.

In brief

This study compares outcomes between single-site robotic cholecystectomy using the DaVinci Xi system and traditional multi-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy in adolescent patients over a 5-year period. The research addresses a gap in pediatric surgical literature by evaluating newer robotic technology specifically in the adolescent population.

Single-site robotic cholecystectomy with DaVinci Xi® shows comparable outcomes to multi-port laparoscopic approach in adolescents
Limited pediatric data exists comparing robotic versus laparoscopic cholecystectomy despite extensive adult literature
DaVinci Xi® platform represents an evolution from earlier Si® system for minimally invasive pediatric biliary surgery
Single-site techniques may offer cosmetic advantages while maintaining surgical efficacy in adolescent cholecystectomy
