Revolutionizing urology: the advancements and applications of robotic platforms

Kinju Adhikari et al. J Robot Surg. .

Abstract

Robot-assisted surgery is developing as an acme of minimally invasive surgery, given its utmost dominance over laparoscopic surgery. The objective was to review the status of robotic surgery in urological practice with its advantages and disadvantages in current scenario. We conducted a literature search using MEDLINE and identified 72 articles which were relevant to urology. Single-port and various multiport robotic platforms like Da Vinci, Versius, Hugo RAS, Revo-I, Senhance, Mantra, Avatera, Hinotori, and MicroSurge are described with pros and cons. With a surge in different medical surgical robots purging into the market and a race to become the next standard of care in robotic surgery, it is only a matter of time when robotic surgery becomes financially comparable to laparoscopic surgeries.

Keywords: Da Vinci; Robotic advancement; Robotic surgical system; Robotic urology.
