Abstract
Ureteral reimplant being one of the most complex operative procedures performed in children, it is a rational challenge to incorporate minimally invasive approach of laparoscopy with or without robotic assistance to provide the equivalent clinical advantage seen with complex procedures in adult population. It is important to comprehend the history and current status of this technological application in children and recognizes the clinical factors affecting optimal surgical outcome. Furthermore, it is necessary to grasp the essential technical and technological advancement from current literature to promote better surgical outcome of this challenging yet rewarding procedure among children.
