MEZA-GALLEGOS, Anali et al. Megarectosigmoid for chronic idiopatic constipacion, sigmoidectomy with robot in the pediatric patient. First case in Mexico. Cir. cir. [online]. 2022, vol.90, n.5, pp.684-688.  Epub 18-Nov-2022. ISSN 2444-054X.  https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.21000685.

We present the first pediatric case of Da Vinci Xi robot-assisted video sigmoidectomy in a 9-year-old male with chronic idiopathic constipation refractory to medical treatment and megarectosigmoid. He underwent sigmoidectomy with primary anastomosis without exceeding the peritoneal reflection. Sigmoidectomy in patients with intractable chronic constipation results in dramatic improvement, with reduction or elimination of laxative measures. Robot-assisted sigmoid resection is a safe minimally invasive alternative in the pediatric patient.
