# New technologies in minimally invasive surgery in childhood cancer surgery

## TL;DR

This paper explores how new technologies can improve minimally invasive cancer surgery in children, offering better precision and recovery.

## Contribution

The paper provides guidance on integrating advanced surgical technologies to improve outcomes in pediatric cancer surgery.

## Key findings

- Robotic, single-site, and image-guided surgeries improve surgical precision in pediatric cancer.
- These technologies reduce morbidity and enhance recovery times for young cancer patients.
- Careful implementation is needed to ensure safety and effectiveness of new surgical technologies.

## Abstract

The aim of this guidance is to discuss the advantages of utilising adjunct technologies in minimally invasive surgery and to mitigate risks associated with these technologies in paediatric cancer surgery.

A literature search was conducted, focusing on robotics, single-site and image-guided surgical approaches in paediatric cancer.

The findings indicate significant improvements in surgical precision, reduced morbidity and enhanced recovery times. Technologies such as robotics, single-site and image-guided surgical approaches have shown promising results in improving the precision of tumour resection.

Integrating advanced technologies into paediatric cancer surgery offers the potential for improved surgical outcomes and quality of life for patients. However, ongoing research and careful implementation are necessary to ensure safety and efficacy.
