Advanced Robotics in Pediatric Care: Multi-Arm SSI Mantra System Employed in Young Toddler

Demonstrating sub-millimeter robotic dexterity in pediatric retroperitoneal surgery with negligible blood loss.

Patient Case Profile3-Year-Old Toddler (Multicystic Dysplastic Kidney)
Surgical Approach & TechniqueRobotic Left Nephrectomy (SSI Mantra 3.0)
Operating Pediatric SurgeonDr. Raghul M, M.Ch, MS, DNB

Congenital non-functioning dysplastic kidney disease posed recurrent urinary sepsis and refractory hypertension risks for the 3-year-old patient. Pediatric retroperitoneal anatomy demands exceptional instrument precision due to tight anatomical spacing.

Dr. Raghul M utilized the cutting-edge SSI Mantra 3 robotic surgical console. The 3D high-definition magnified optics provided unparalleled visualization of the pediatric renal pedicle and anomalous vascular branches.

With 7-degrees-of-freedom wristed micro-instruments, the non-viable renal mass was skeletonized and excised with zero thermal collateral injury to the adjacent bowel and splenic vessels.

Operative blood loss was virtually undetectable (<5 mL). The child experienced minimal postoperative discomfort, bypassed intensive care requirements, and returned home within 48 hours.
