"Many robotic urological procedures are now as safe and effective as open surgery for all ages, even infants," says Richard Schlussel, M.D., co-director of pediatric Urology at Hackensack University Medical Center, which recently completed its 25,000th robotic procedure.
The New Jersey center has a vast team of experienced surgeons who perform a wide range of procedures for children and infants, including kidney obstruction and blocked ureters, ureteral abnormalities, and MACE procedures, per a press release.
Some of the most common procedures the team performs robotically include kidney obstruction and blocked ureters, ureteral abnormalities, and MACE procedures.
The team has also recently integrated an innovation that supports robotic surgery planning: 3D modeling of a patient's individual urological anatomy, which helps a surgeon see all angles and aids family education.
New generation technology coming online for adult patients at the center gives surgeons increasingly beneficial advantages, including improved instrumentation and better tactile sense and surgeon feedback.
Schlussel anticipates adoption of these advances for pediatric robotic surgery in the near future.
kidney stone prevalence increasing in children and teens in recent years, the team, for example, now applies new laser technology to break up stones in a more complete fashion.
