Authors' recommendations:
The procedures pyeloplasty and fundoplication in pediatric surgery can be performed with robotically assisted surgery, conventional laparoscopy, or open surgery. There is no documentation suggesting that any of these techniques is superior to another, regarding the outcomes studied in this report. All the identified studies were cohort studies contributing to very low quality of evidence (GRADE +000). It may be unethical to introduce a new expensive technique in routine health care, when the quality of evidence for patient benefits and risks is very low.
