Understanding robot-assisted surgery in urology
Robot-assisted surgery is a technique that can, depending on the indication, offer a minimally invasive approach with great precision of movement. It does not systematically replace other techniques: the choice always depends on the patient's workup.
What is robot-assisted surgery?
The surgeon operates using a robotic system that reproduces their movements with increased precision, through small incisions. The surgeon retains full control of the procedure at all times.
Possible indications in urology
- Certain prostate procedures, depending on the workup
- Certain kidney procedures, depending on the indication
- Certain minimally invasive urological reconstructions
