Current Status of Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Surgery in Pediatric Urology

Laparoscopic procedures for urological diseases in children have been proven to be safe and effective. However, the availability of laparoscopic procedures is still partly limited to experienced, high-volume centers because the procedures are technically demanding. The da Vinci robot system is being used for an increasing variety of reconstructive procedures because of the advantages of this ap...

Simultaneous Robot-Assisted Laparoendoscopic Single-Site Partial Nephrectomy and Standard Radical Prostatectomy

Recently, patients with urologic malignancies are treated with robot-assisted surgery and the expanded role of robot-assisted surgery includes even those patients with two concomitant primary urologic malignancies. In an effort to further reduce port site-related morbidity, robot-assisted laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (RLESS) has been developed. Therefore, we present herein our early exp...

Robotic assistance in urological microsurgery: initial report of a successful in-vivo robot-assisted vasovasostomy

During recent years many urologists have been convinced of the advantages of robot-assisted, minimally invasive urological procedures. Because microscope-assisted vasovasostomy is a rather uncommon procedure, most urologists lack microsurgical experience. Use of the da Vinci robotic system (Intuitive Surgical, Mountain View, CA, USA) virtually eliminates the microsurgical challenge of tremor, l...

Acute renal failure after prolonged pneumoperitoneum in robot-assisted prostatectomy: a rare complication report

Robot-assisted surgery has been used widely in urological surgery since 2000. In Taiwan, robotic surgery started in 2004 and progress has been ongoing since this time. Herein we report a case of acute renal failure post robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. The patient received postoperative hemodialysis and intensive care. The renal function recovered to a serum creatinine level of 2.0 mg/dl 2...
