Safety and feasibility of robot-assisted laparoscopic telesurgery in pediatric surgery: a case series.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite an escalating number of robot models that have facilitated remote surgery since 2008, the utilization of robotic remote surgery in pediatric surgery remains unreported. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of applying the single-port robotic system (SHURUI SR-ENS-600) in pediatric robot-assisted laparoscopic remote surgery.

Case description

Between October 2024 and February 2025, an experienced surgeon situated at tertiary medical centers in Guangzhou and Liuzhou employed the SHURUI Endoscopic Surgical Robotic System to perform remote robot-assisted laparoscopic appendectomy (RA) and robot-assisted laparoscopic choledochal cyst excision (RC) in four pediatric patients. Patients meeting the enrollment criteria underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic te
