“…Robotic surgery allows for greater precision and control of the movements of the surgical instrument, as well as better visualization of the operative area, compared to conventional surgical techniques (Migliore et al, 2021). In addition, robotic surgery can be performed through small incisions, reducing the length of hospital stay and minimizing postoperative complications (Ponsky et al, 2020).…”

INTRODUCTION:Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a rare congenital malformation that can lead to serious consequences for neonatal health. Surgery is the standard treatment for CDH, and robotic surgery is being used more and more. However, the effectiveness and safety of robotic surgery compared to other surgical techniques for CDH are still uncertain. GOAL: This integrative review aimed to assess the available evidence on the efficacy and safety of robotic surgery for CDH. METHODOLOGY: PubMed and embase databases were searched until January 2023, resulting in ten relevant studies. Most studies compared robotic surgery with laparoscopic or open surgery. RESULT: The analysis of the results indicated that robotic surgery can be a safe and effective option for CDH, with shorter hospital stay, lower rate of conversion to open surgery and low complication rates. However, there were no significant differences regarding surgical time and surgical complications compared to other surgical techniques. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: While the results are encouraging, more research is needed to confirm the efficacy and safety of robotic surgery for CDH in different patient groups.
