Summary

This trial tests whether a new robotic system that uses only one small incision (single port) can safely perform common abdominal surgeries in children. The study includes children aged 1 to 17 who need procedures like pyeloplasty or reflux treatment. The goal is to see if the single-port robot works as well as current multi-incision robots, with fewer scars and less pain.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Single Port robotic system
What this could lead to: If successful, this could make robotic surgery less invasive for children, with fewer incisions and potentially faster recovery.
What could go wrong: This is a very small early feasibility study (10 children). The system is not yet approved for children, and there may be technical difficulties or complications.
