A review of technical progression in the robot-assisted radical prostatectomy

Transl Androl Urol. 2021 May;10(5):2171-2177. doi: 10.21037/tau.2020.03.17.

Abstract

Since the advent of the robotic surgery, its implementation in urology has been both wide and rapid. Particularly in extirpative surgery for prostate cancer, techniques in robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy have-and continue to-evolve to maximize functional and oncologic outcomes. In this review, we briefly present a historical perspective of the evolution of various robotic techniques, allowing us to contextualize contemporary robotic approaches to radical prostatectomy.

Keywords: Techniques; advancements; robotic prostatectomy.
