Abstract

Pediatric RAS has significantly grown in France, proving to be safe and feasible even in infants under 10 kg. Urology remains the main indication, followed by gastrointestinal and biliary surgery. Despite current limitations-especially instrument size-RAS offers advantages in precision, ergonomics, and surgical education. Future innovation may enhance its broader adoption in pediatric surgery.
