description | Although the survival rates for children's cancers have more than doubled in the last few decades, the surgical practise has not significantly changed. Among the most recent innovations introduced in the clinic, robotic surgery and augmented reality are two of the most promising, even if they are not widespread. The increased flexibility of the motion, the magnification of the surgical field and the tremor reduction provided by robotic surgery have been beneficial to perform complex oncological procedures in children. Besides, augmented reality has been proven helpful in planning for tumour removal, facilitating early discrimination between cancer and healthy organs. Nowadays, research in the field of surgical oncology is moving fast, and new technologies and innovations wich will help to shape a new way to perform cancer surgery. Paediatric surgeons need to be ready to adopt these novel devices and intraoperative techniques to allow more radical tumour resections with fewer complications. This review aims to present the mechanism of action and indications of several novel technologies such as optical imaging surgery, high definition cameras, and intraoperative loco-regional treatments. We hope this will enhance early adoption and more research on how to employ technology for the benefit of children. |
