A Systematic Review of Complications of Minimally Invasive Surgery in the Pediatric Urological Literature

The rate of complications and open conversions varies by surgical procedure in pediatric urological minimally invasive surgery. Despite the existence of a standardized complication classification system, the majority of reviewed publications did not report complications in a standardized fashion. Our findings call for more robust studies in pediatric minimally invasive surgery and universal implementation of standardized complication reporting.
