Abstract
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) in pediatric urology has developed rapidly in the last 20 years. Almost all conventional abdominal and retroperitoneal urologic procedures have been now performed minimally invasively. This increase was possible owing to an advancement of expertise in pediatric MIS as well as in pediatric anesthesiology and the development of special equipment. Inadequate hemostasis with bleeding is one of the biggest adversaries of MIS. In order to improve hemostasis and to reduce the risk of bleeding, which may result in conversion to open surgery, several electrical systems for dissection and coagulation were developed. This chapter focuses on the different electrosurgical systems, which are used in pediatric MIS Urology.
