چکیده
RESULTS: Positive surgical margin rates in RALP are commensurate to contemporary open and standard laparoscopic series. Surgical experience and refinement of technique helped decrease positive margins. Long-term biochemical disease-free survival (PSA <0.1 ng/ml) following RALP is currently unknown, with only 2 series reporting data with >12 month follow-up.

متن کاملRobotic surgery in pediatric urology
While robotic surgery has shown clear utility and advantages in the adult population, its role in pediatrics remains controversial. Pediatric-sized robotic instruments and equipment are not readily available yet, so certain modifications can be made in order to make robotic surgery successful in children. While the cost of robotic surgery remains high compared to open procedures, patients exper...
متن کاملThe growth of computer-assisted (robotic) surgery in urology 2000–2014: The role of Asian surgeons
Objective A major role in the establishment of computer-assisted robotic surgery (CARS) can be traced to the work of Mani Menon at Vattikuti Urology Institute (VUI), and of many surgeons of Asian origin. The success of robotic surgery in urology has spurred its acceptance in other surgical disciplines, improving patient comfort and disease outcomes and helping the industrial growth. The present...
متن کاملExpanding the Utilization of Robotic Procedures in Urologic Surgery
Although the word "robot" was coined in 1921, only close to 70 years later were robotic devices developed to assist during surgery. Urology has always been at the forefront of endoscopic, minimally invasive, and robotic developments in medicine. Robotic prostatectomy signaled the emerging role of robotic surgery in urology, but since then it has been applied to every urologic laparoscopic proce...

متن کاملThe impact of robotic surgery in urology.
INTRODUCTION More than a decade ago, robotic surgery was introduced into urology. Since then, the urological community started to look at surgery from a different angle. The present, the future hopes, and the way we looked at our past experience have all changed. METHODS Between 2000 and 2011, the published literature was reviewed using the National Library of Medicine database and the follow...
