Article Synopsis
- Over the last 20 years, robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery has improved treatment for vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) in children, and this article reviews the benefits and surgical outcomes of a specific procedure called RALUR-EV.
- A literature search identified 21 studies involving 1,321 children, showing a high overall success rate (92.2% for patients, 90.9% per ureter), with an average operation time of around 175 minutes and a hospital stay of about 2 days.
- The authors emphasize the advantages of RALUR-EV while noting the varied study designs and the necessity for more standardized protocols and prospective research to fully assess its effectiveness.
