Robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery: recent advances in urology

摘要: The aim of the present review is to summarize recent developments in field urologic robotic surgery. A nonsystematic literature was performed retrieve publications related surgery urology and evidence-based critical analysis conducted by focusing on past 5 years. use da Vinci Surgical System, a surgical system, has been implemented for entire spectrum extirpative reconstructive laparoscopic kidney procedures. approach can be applied range adrenal indications as well ureteral diseases, including benign malignant conditions affecting proximal, mid, distal ureter. Current evidence suggests that prostatectomy associated with less blood loss compared open Besides prostate cancer, robotics used simple patients symptomatic prostatic hyperplasia. Recent studies suggest minimally invasive radical cystectomy provides encouraging oncologic outcomes mirroring those reported In years, evolution enabled surgeons perform urinary diversions intracorporeally. Robotic vasectomy reversal several other andrological applications are being explored. summary, robotic-assisted an emerging safe technology most operations. acceptance during decade paved way urologists explore Cost remains significant issue could solved wider dissemination technology.
