**2.3 Benefits**

Robotic enhancements offer improvements in the technical capacity of human performance for surgery within spatially restricted workspaces in children [13]. Less time is required to acquire the right skills and confidence with RAS, "The learning curve is shorter" [46, 54–56]. Robotic assistance will allow more pediatric surgeons to perform a greater volume of minimally invasive procedures [57].

It also has a real benefit for the pediatric patient in terms of: minimizing operative trauma, minimal scarring, less postoperative pain, less need for opioids, less bleeding and transfusions, fewer complications, less risk of infection, shorter hospitalization, and quick return to daily activities, this also benefits parents [46, 47, 58].
