Abstract

Robotic and conventional laparoscopic technology and applications have penetrated pediatric urology over the last 15 years. Understanding the realities of the ability to learn these technologies, how much they cost, and what information can be disseminated to all fledgling minimally invasive surgeons and programs is vital to ensuring optimal patient outcomes. We provide a synthesis of our experience and observations with analysis from the literature about initiating and maintaining a surgical practice adopting new technology.
