Abstract

Benign bladder conditions, such as bladder diverticula, urachal anomalies, and bladder stones, are rare in children. Robot-assisted laparoscopic techniques offer a minimally invasive treatment option as an alternative to open surgery. This chapter reviews surgical techniques for the minimally invasive treatment of these benign conditions in children.
