in this manuscript adds valuable assessment data to continue our journey in exploring potential benefits or disadvantages of this technology.1 As more robotic platforms become available and as the technology evolves, it is likely that the application and use of such technology will only continue to expand further. If we can use this technology to allow urologists to become more proficient micro...
