Summary
Complex kidney cysts are rarely observed in childhood. In adult patients, when radiological
studies found a suspicious renal lesion, the gold standard is surgical asportation.
The robotic surgery is well known as a secure procedure for treatment these patients,
and is nowadays a real alternative also for pediatric patients. The challenges in
children surgery are linked to anesthesiologic gestion, smaller operative fields,
the need of specific instruments and more delicate tissue handling. We present a step-by-step
video description of a robotic partial nephrectomy for a renal multicystic mass in
a 4 year-old child.
