Abstrakt: The current standard treatment for stage I Wilms' tumor is open radical nephrectomy. Patients with WAGR syndrome and Wilms' tumor have risk of contralateral tumor and are a group of patients benefitted by nephron-sparing surgery (NSS). Whereas laparoscopic NSS has been attempted in such patients, due to the inherent technical limitations it has failed to gain popularity. Robotic approach for NSS overcomes limitations of movement and dexterity occurring with laparoscopic approach. However, the existing literature in robotic NSS in children is very limited. We present the first report of robotic approach for NSS in a child with WAGR syndrome.
