Abstract
PURPOSE: In this review, we aim to provide readers with a balanced understanding of all aspects of single incision robotic cystectomy (SIRC) and urinary diversion using the single-port (SP) robot. The review will trace the historical progression from open surgery to the introduction of minimally invasive approaches and present an in-depth description of the SIRC technique, offering a step-by-step guide for reference. Emphasis will be placed on indications and patient selection criteria to equip surgeons with well-rounded insights for decision-making.
