Purpose In recent years, the use of robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery in pediatric oncology has increased. Despite its benefits, its adoption remains limited. This single-center retrospective analysis examines technical nuances, indications, and surgical limitations to prevent complications. Methods Data from cancer patients treated robotically in 2015–2016 (Group A) and 2020–2022 (Group B) were compared. Decision-making considered tumor characteristics and risks, guided by multidisciplinary tumor board discussions. Data collected included demographics, intra/post-operative details, and tumor classifications. Statistical analysis evaluated influencing factors. Results Thirty-eight pediatric patients underwent robotic-assisted tumor resection, the median age was 5 years and weight 21.5 kg. Group A had higher median age and weight. Lesions included 23 malignant, 9 borderline, 5 benign cases; neuroblastoma (n = 19) was prevalent procedure and adrenalectomy was the predominant (28.94%). Open conversion occurred in 12 patients (31.58%), mainly due to vascular challenges (23.68%). Intraoperative complications were 10.53%, postoperative 7.9%. About 27% discharged by the third postoperative day; longer stays were needed for complex cases. All resumed post-op chemotherapy as scheduled, and all alive during follow-up. Conclusions Our study confirms the safety and efficacy of robotic-assisted tumor resections in pediatric oncology, even during the learning phase, emphasizing the importance of learning curve, patient selection, and trocar positioning.
