Abstract
This study focuses on the successful application of single-incision pediatric endosurgery in the treatment of congenital anomalies and acquired diseases in neonates and infants. The purpose of this scientific review consists in highlighting the spectrum, indications, applicability, and effectiveness of single-port endosurgery in children during the first 3 postnatal months.
Core tip: Consequently, reports on a successful use of single-incision endosurgical technique in the treatment of congenital malformations and diseases in neonates and infants are still not numerous and often sporadic. Advanced skills and a high technical demand, along with the lack of specialized surgical equipment are factors limiting the popularity and availability of single-incision pediatric endosurgery (SIPES) for pediatric surgery in first 3 mo of life. However, the current body of evidence shows that a SIPES is indeed applicable in infants with outcome comparable to that of standard laparoscopy, and that it results in minimal post-operative surgical trauma and superb cosmesis.
