Robotic Surgery in Pediatric Urology - Renea Sturm, MD - UCLAMDChat

Explore robotic surgery in pediatric urology through this informative video lecture by UCLA pediatric urologist Dr. Renea Sturm. Gain insights into the precision and 3D visualization capabilities of robotic-assisted procedures. Watch a lab demonstration of the Da Vinci system and learn about common procedures and expanding indications in the field. Discover the early postnatal course of antenatal hydronephrosis, including diagnostic studies and potential indications for pyeloplasty. Compare surgical approaches such as open pyeloplasty, minimally invasive surgery, and robotic-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty. Understand the timing of interventions and the advantages of robotic surgery in pediatric urology.
