ABSTRACT

Introduction: Minimally invasive surgery (MIC) is now a real option for resection of thoracic and abdominal tumors. The aim is to show our experience in pediatric oncology CMI.
Material and Methods: We conducted an analysis of the CMI procedures performed between October 2004 and February 2006.
Results: There were 32 CMI, 17 laparoscopies (53.1%), 4 laparoscopic biopsies (12.5%) and 11 thoracoscopy (34.3%). The procedures performed were: salpingo-oophorectomy (21.8%), hepatic segmentectomy (6.2%), Staging (15.6%), intrathoracic resections (18.7%) and intra-abdominal (9.3%), biopsy tumor relapse (9.3%) and diagnostic (3.1 %), thoracoscopic resection of metastases (15.6%). The average age and residence was 9.9 years and 6 days respectively. Oncological disease was confirmed in 62.5% of cases. The total conversion rate was 9.3% and 3.1% of complications.
Conclusions: The WCC is a real option, safe and effective in the treatment of pediatric oncology patients.
