A. No. Robotic surgery for pediatric urology is new, but not experimental. The safety and feasibility of this procedure have been demonstrated already. Dr. Mohan S. Gundeti, chief of the pediatric urology service at the University of Chicago, is one of the national leaders of robotic surgery in children. Dr. Gundeti is also an expert in all types of laparoscopic and open urologic surgery.
