We will walk through the procedure step by step, framed by a single case and a review of our most recent cases since we began to perform these cases. We hope to emphasize the feasibility of this procedure as well as the benefits of the collaborative nature of this endeavor. METHODS: One particular case is presented from this past year at Texas Children's Hospital. We performed the case in conjunction with our adult MIS trained urologic faculty at Baylor College of Medicine. We then reviewed our most recent cases to demonstrate their indications and outcomes. RESULTS: 6 total partial nephrectomies were performed in conjunction with the adult urologic faculty in the last 18 months at Texas Children's. 3 were right sided and 3 were left sided. One lymph node dissection was performed which demonstrated no evidence of disease. The pathology was varied between each case, but negative margins were achieved in all cases with no complications. All patients remain on surveillance with urology and hematology/oncology w/ no evidence of disease or recurrence. CONCLUSIONS: Robotic Partial Nephrectomy is feasible in the pediatric population despite the concerns for limited working space. Port placement can be adjusted a number of ways to accommodate the tumor size and the patient’s body habitus. Involving specialists from adult urology can be helpful as their skills directly translate to the surgical management of these pediatric patients.
