Abstract
The evolution of minimally invasive surgery in pediatric urology has slowly moved towards reconstructive surgery for vesicoureteral reflux and megaureter surgery. Robotic technology has permitted this to potentially become a key element in the surgical armamentarium, yet the technical procedure remains incompletely defined. This chapter presents the basic surgical techniques, current results as well as a discussion of may limitations in methods that potentially contribute to the variable results reported in the literature to date.
