Abstract

Minimally invasive surgery has always been the mainstay of therapeutic strategy in treatment of urological disorders. Urologic oncologic surgery is no exception in this regard and with availability of the da Vinci robotic system has favorably altered the surgical outcomes of treatment of urologic malignancies including prostatectomy, cystectomy, and partial nephrectomy. Robotic system not only makes these procedures truly minimal access but also facilitates better visualization, improved dexterity, and better outcomes in terms of surgical morbidity. In this article, we collect and review the recent articles which have studied the application of this technology and its outcomes.
