This is a single-center retrospective observational cohort study evaluating surgical and clinical outcomes in pediatric patients undergoing robotic surgery at a tertiary children's hospital.
All consecutive patients younger than 18 years who underwent robotic-assisted procedures (digestive, urologic, gynecologic, or thoracic surgery) between January 2025 and December 2025 at Meyer Children's Hospital IRCCS will be included.
The primary objective is to describe postoperative complications within 30 days. Secondary objectives include conversion to open surgery, reintervention and readmission rates, length of hospital stay, postoperative pain, recovery parameters, and recurrence of the underlying disease within 12 months.
Data will be collected retrospectively from electronic medical records, operative registries, laboratory reports, and follow-up documentation up to 12 months after surgery.
Age < 18 years at the time of surgery
Underwent robotic-assisted surgical procedure (digestive, urologic, gynecologic, or thoracic surgery)
Surgery performed between January 2025 and December 2025 at Meyer Children's Hospital IRCCS
Availability of essential clinical and perioperative data in the medical record
Missing essential clinical or postoperative data required for analysis
Documented opposition to the use of clinical data for research purposes

Cohort
Retrospective
Not listed
Postoperative Complications Within 30 Days
Occurrence of postoperative complications within 30 days after robotic-assisted surgery, classified according to the Clavien-Dindo grading system when applicable and documented in the medical record.
Reintervention Rate
Unplanned surgical reintervention within 30 days after the index robotic-assisted procedure.
Hospital Readmission Rate
Unplanned hospital readmission occurring within 30 days after discharge from the index hospitalization.
Postoperative Pain (VAS Score)
Pain intensity measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) every 6 hours during the first 72 postoperative hours, as recorded in routine clinical documentation.
Time to Resumption of Oral Feeding
Time from surgery to resumption of oral feeding as documented in the medical record.
