Comparison of robotic-assisted and laparoscopic-assisted surgery in the treatment of children with Hirschsprung's disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: This study aims to systematically evaluate the differences between robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) and laparoscopic-assisted surgery (LAS) in intraoperative parameters, postoperative complications, and prognostic outcomes for children with Hirschsprung's disease (HSCR). By conducting a meta-analysis, evidence-based insights for clinical practice were sought. Following PRISMA guidelines, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science were searched up to May 10, 2025, to identify comparative studies of RAS and LAS for HSCR. Two reviewers independently screened literature and assessed quality using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). RevMan5.4 and STATA18 were used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs), with heterogeneity and publication bias evaluated. Six studies involving 789
