Abstract
Robot-assisted surgery represents the pinnacle of minimally invasive surgical techniques, surpassing laparoscopic surgery in its efficacy. This study aimed to evaluate the current status of robotic surgery in urological practice, examining its advantages and disadvantages. A literature review was conducted using PUBMED and the pertinent articles in the field of urology selected. Various single-port and multiport robotic platforms, such as Da Vinci, Versius, Hugo RAS, Revo-I, Senhance, Mantra, Avatera, hinotori, and MicroSurge, are discussed along with their respective pros and cons. Details of the 4 robotic platforms used in our centers are also included. With an influx of diverse medical surgical robots entering the market and a competitive drive to establish the next standard of care in robotic surgery, it is inevitable that robotic surgery will soon become economically comparable to laparoscopic procedures.
