Abstract
Pediatric patients continue to benefit from the advances made in minimal-access surgery. Improvements in techniques and tools have made minimal-access procedures increasingly available to children. Growing popularity of laparoscopy and thoracoscopy has resulted in greater numbers of patients available for outcomes analysis. Randomized, controlled studies have been difficult to perform because of parent, patient, and physician selection bias.Keywords
