more common during the closure phase [6]. Patient’s factors like previous abdominal surgery and obesity, as well as anatomical variations and inadequate bowel preparation may increase the risk of complications. Surgeon’s experience and poor device maintenance are also important factors.
31.1.1 Vascular Injury
Vascular injury can occur in different sites and lead to various consequences. Supercial lesions may affect the epigastric vessels and abdominal wall, while intra-abdominal injuries may involve vessels in the mesentery, omentum, iliac, or even the aorta/vena cava. The resulting complications can range from parietal hematoma to intra­abdominal hemorrhage.
The potential causes of trocar hole bleeding during closure are diverse. First, the trocar implantation process itself can injure the abdomi­nal wall and trigger bleeding. Second, improper placement of the trocar can damage the inferior epigastric vessels. Third, non-standardized trocar placement techniques, such as oblique entry, may lead to an increased risk of bleeding from abdom­inal wall vascular or muscle injury. Fourth, inad­equate suturing of the trocar hole, specically failure to suture the muscle layer, is a common cause of bleeding. Finally, patients may present unique factors that increasing risk of bleeding, including variations in the distribution of abdom­inal wall vasculature.
31.1.2 Abdominal Organ Injury
Patients who have undergone abdominal surgery, such as caesarean, broid uterus, umbilical her­nia or umbilical lesions, are at a high risk for developing adhesions. These adhesions can increase the risk of injury to abdominal organs during laparoscopic surgery, and should always be taken into consideration.
As previously reported, a signicant propor­tion of intestinal injuries may be undetected
during laparoscopic surgery, with estimated rate ranging between 30% and 50%. This can result in increased mortality and is considered the third leading cause of death in laparoscopic pro­cedures [7]. Injuries to solid organs, such as the liver, spleen, and kidney, can lead to signicant abdominal bleeding and may require a laparot­omy for treatment. Visceral injuries can involve various organs, including the omentum, stom­ach, intestines, liver, or spleen, depending on the site of entry and the lling degree of the hol­low organ. Therefore, it is recommended to place a gastric tube before performing opera­tions that involve Palmer’s point or the Lee­point Huang.
To ensure a safe procedure, the presence of gas or malodorous liquids can indicate the pene­tration of the intestines, while the liver or spleen damage may result in the aspiration of blood. Treatment for visceral organ injuries may involve either laparoscopy or laparotomy, depending on the input of the interdisciplinary team [8].
When creating an intraperitoneal access and pneumoperitoneum, there is a notable risk of intestinal injury. The risk is higher in laparo­scopic procedures than in laparotomy. Although rare, intestinal injuries account for most laparos­copy-related fatalities and are a signicant cause of morbidity in all laparoscopic surgeries.
Suturing is a common method for dealing with intestinal injuries during surgery. However, it’s important to note that not all intestinal injuries can be immediately detected during the opera­tion, unlike vessel injuries which can be observed right away. Patients may develop peritonitis after surgery, which can present as either specic or unspecic symptoms. It’s important to keep an eye out for persistent pyrexia, tachycardia, or intestinal obstruction as these could be signs of intestinal injury. Failure to diagnose this condi­tion in a timely manner can lead to serious com­plications and even death. For less severe injuries, tension-free, single-layer, interrupted sero-sub­mucosal 3-0 Vicryl or 4-0 polydioxanone sutures are recommended. More extensive injuries may require excision and anastomosis.

31.1.3 Trocar-site Hernia
Laparoscopic surgery is associated with certain complications, such as trocar-site hernia (TSH) or port-site hernias (PSH). Previous studies showed that the incidence of these types of her­nias in laparoscopic surgeries ranged from 0% to
0.1%, particularly when non-bladed trocars are used [9, 10].
Trocar site hernias (TSH) can cause serious consequences, and no optimal prevention strate­gies have been produced yet. One approach to reduce the risk of TSH is that surgeons can use ports that are larger than 10mm in diameter. We found that TSH is more common with trocars that are positioned along the midline, as opposed to off-midline positions. These ndings are consis­tent with those reported by Tonouchi et al. [11], who proposed that TSH is linked to the anatomi­cal and inherent weaknesses of the common umbilical site, especially the paraumbilical region.
The trocar site should be closed following the use of trocars that are 10mm or larger. In fact, some surgeons suggested that the trocar site may need to be closed regardless of the diameter of the trocar, with closure recommended for chil­dren when the trocar diameter is larger than 5 mm, and for adults when the diameter is greater than 7 mm. Additionally, the type of trocar used can also impact the incidence of trocar site her­nias (TSH), as non-bladed trocars that split tissue instead of cutting it have been associated with a lower occurrence of hernias and ileus, even in cases where fascial closure was not performed.
31.2 CO2 Pneumoperitoneum
The use of CO2 to insufate the peritoneal cavity during surgery can provide improved visualiza­tion of the anatomy and allow for minimally invasive procedures via small incisions. However, this can also increase intra-abdominal pressure (IAP), which leads to various pathophysiologic changes in adjacent organ systems.
Improper needle placement during initial CO2 insufation process may cause adverse outcomes. In some cases, CO2 can be injected into
unintended spaces, such as the intravascular, sub­cutaneous, or preperitoneal space, and even into the omentum, mesentery, abdominal and pelvic organs, or retroperitoneum [12]. If the needle is misplaced into a vessel, it can lead to a serious and potentially fatal CO2 venous embolism. However, it’s worth noting that CO2 is typically better tolerated by the body than air embolism or nitrous oxide embolism, since it’s more soluble in blood. In other cases, CO2 insufation can result in a pneumothorax, which can occur when the gas enters the thoracic cavity through a tear in the visceral peritoneum or as a result of a pre­existing bulla rupturing.
When CO2 is forced into the mediastinum and pericardium via the inferior vena cava, or when CO2 passes through the defect in the membra­nous portion of the diaphragm, pneumopericar­dium may occur [13].
31.3 Robotic System-Related
Complications
Though developed for several generations, the robot surgical system is still not optimistic and may cause operative complications. One system limitation is the absence of tactile feedback. Surgeons cannot directly touch the surgical site, hindering their ability to determine tissue prop­erties and tension during suturing. Without this feedback, suturing errors may occur, potentially leading to tissue ischemia, anastomosis, or uncertain hemostasis, which increases the risk of postoperative complications. Additionally, given the limited operating space within the human body, collisions between robotic devices may occur, particularly within pediatric patients where the operating space is smaller. Preoperative preparation is time-consuming and requires anesthesia, which poses increased risks, espe­cially for children with poor cardiopulmonary function. Maintenance and purchase costs of the equipment are also high. Furthermore, the tech­nical complexity of robotic system increases the probability of mechanical failure during use when compared to general endoscopic surgery systems.

Q. Shu and S. Zhang
Intraoperative electrical burns are a frequent injury of the digestive tract, with injuries com­monly occuring in the rectal, colon, and duodenal regions. Rectal injury can be addressed in a timely fashion through direct suturing, colos­tomy, or other treatment methods based on injury size and incision depth, and general surgeons should be consulted as necessary. Postoperative care should focus on active anti-infection, con­tinuous gastrointestinal decompression , and par­enteral nutrition based on individual patient needs. Colon injuries also frequently occur and can be treated with intraoperative direct suturing for shallow injuries, while deep or extensive inju­ries may require additional treatment with assis­tance from a general surgeon. Duodenal injuries most frequently occur with right renal cancer sur­gery or Wilms tumor in pediatric patients, which require specialist care given to prevent the sever­ity of the consequences. As such, detailed preop­erative evaluations and considerate intraoperative operations are crucial to minimizing complica­tion risks.
To prevent spleen tearing, surgeons should avoid direct traction of the spleen during the traction operation of left upper pole of kidney and left adrenal gland surgery. Freeing the sple­nocolon and splenorenal ligaments is essential. In the perirenal organ surgery, such as ipsilateral adrenal gland surgery and pyeloplasty, kidney injury is the most common. To achieve blunt combination during separation and correctly grasp the anatomical level and relevant posi­tional relationship is important. Liver injury is typically seen in right adrenal gland or transperi­toneal nephrectomy cases. During separation, it is important to be mindful of the anatomical location of the liver and separate tissue with care to reduce electrocoagulation injury. Although relatively rare, pancreatic injury is more preva­lent during left adrenal gland and left nephrec­tomy. If the pancreatic contusion is found during the operation, physicians from relevant depart­ments should be consulted promptly to avoid pancreatic stula [14].
Operations, particularly in retroperitoneal dissection, can cause the risk of major vessel injury. The retroperitoneal space typically
includes the distal abdominal aorta, common iliac arteries, external iliac arteries, and internal iliac arteries, although lacerations in these ves­sels are infrequent. Identifying large vessel injury early, limiting bleeding, and transitioning to laparotomy when laparoscopic methods are unsuccessful for hemostasis are crucial for effective treatment. Medical hemostasis such as TachoSil may be benetial. It is recommended that a vascular surgeon should perform the oper­ation [7].
Although there are still complications similar to traditional laparoscopy in the application of robotic surgery system in the eld of pediatric surgery, and there are special complications related to pediatrics, robotics will be more widely used in the medical eld in the near future and ultimately can achieve the best therapeutic out­comes for patients.
