Abstract

Minimally invasive surgical techniques have become utilized to perform increasingly complex procedures. Initially used in adults, technology and experience have allowed surgeons and urologists to limit the need for large incisions, and its growth in the pediatric population has also grown steadily. This chapter will describe current principles in minimally invasive pediatric urology, important considerations and future directions for this expanding field.
