Twenty children underwent da Vinci robotic surgery, and the others underwent traditional laparoscopy.

The average age of the robot-assisted group was 3.62\u2009\u00b1\u20090.71 years old (range\u2009=\u20091\u201312 years). There were nineteen cases of Todani type I, one patients of other types, and the maximum cyst diameter was 35.45\u2009\u00b1\u20099.32\u2005mm (range\u2009=\u200912\u201356\u2005mm). In the laparoscopic group, the average age was 3.08\u2009\u00b1\u20090.82 years old (range\u2009=\u20093\u201310 years). Twenty-one patients had Todani type I, and one had other types. The maximum cyst diameter was 31.94\u2009\u00b1\u20098.64\u2005mm (range\u2009=\u200910\u201382\u2005mm).
