Robotic-assisted surgery has been fully embraced by surgeons for the adult population; however, its acceptance is too slow in the world of pediatric surgeons. It is largely due to the technical limitations and the inherent high cost associated with it. In the past two decades, indeed, there has been considerable advancement in pediatric robotic surgery. A large number of surgical procedures were performed on children with the assistance of robots, even with comparative success rates to standard laparoscopy. As a newly developing field, it still has many challenges and obstacles. This work is centered on the current status and progression of pediatric robotic surgery as well as the future perspectives in the field of pediatric surgery.
机器人辅助手术已被成人外科医生完全接受；然而，在小儿外科医生群体中，其接受程度却过于缓慢。这在很大程度上是由于技术限制以及与之相关的固有高成本。事实上，在过去二十年里，小儿机器人手术有了相当大的进展。在机器人的辅助下，为儿童实施了大量外科手术，甚至与标准腹腔镜手术的成功率相当。作为一个新兴领域，它仍然面临许多挑战和障碍。这项工作聚焦于小儿机器人手术的现状与进展以及小儿外科领域的未来前景。
