# Minimally invasive surgery in paediatric nephroblastoma

## TL;DR

The paper discusses how minimally invasive surgery is being used to improve treatment outcomes for children with nephroblastoma.

## Contribution

The paper provides an updated summary of current recommendations for minimally invasive surgery in pediatric nephroblastoma treatment.

## Key findings

- Minimally invasive surgery is increasingly recommended in pediatric nephroblastoma treatment protocols.
- Improvements in surgical outcomes have been linked to evolving surgical guidelines.
- Current global protocols support the use of minimally invasive techniques in this patient population.

## Abstract

Surgery is a corner stone of treatment in children with nephroblastoma. Over recent years, the evolution of surgical guidelines has added to the improvement of treatment results in affected children. Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has been described as part of this evolution. The present article summarises the current recommendations for MIS in nephroblastoma based on the relevant global treatment protocols.
