Abstract
Robotic surgery was first begun in the early 1980s and the da Vinci robotic surgical system is currently the most commonly used system in the world. The Prince of Wales Hospital, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, was the first centre in Hong Kong to have this system installed. Since November 2005, more than 50 cases of various urological procedures have been performed, and robotic radical prostatectomy is the most commonly performed procedure in our centre. With the benefits of three‐dimensional vision, EndoWrist technology and ergonomic advantage, a result comparable to the world standard can be achieved within a short learning time. In the present article, a summary of the development of robotic surgery, as well as the early experiences of the da Vinci surgical system will be discussed.
