Article Synopsis
  • This study compared robotic-assisted varicocelectomy (RAV) and laparoscopic varicocelectomy (LV) in 40 pediatric patients over two years, focusing on techniques and outcomes.
  • Results showed that while both methods were effective, LV had a significantly shorter average operative time (20 min) compared to RAV (34.5 min), better cosmetic results, and lower total costs (€1,587.07 vs. €5,650.31).
  • The conclusion indicates that while RAV is a safe option, laparoscopic techniques are preferable for treating pediatric varicocele due to their efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
