BACKGROUND: We lack data regarding the economic cost of robot-assisted surgical procedures in urology. We aimed to assess the medico-economic impact of onco-urological robot-assisted surgery.
Robot-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP) has demonstrated better peri-operative outcomes as compared to open simple prostatectomy. However, RASP is still limited by platform availability and cost-effectiveness issues. The new surgical robots increa...

OBJECTIVES: To assess the morbidity specific of extended pelvic lymphadenectomy during robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy in a 8 year retrospective study.
BACKGROUND: We assess whether short-term recovery of urinary incontinence following robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP) is associated with postoperative membranous urethral length (MUL) and position of vesico-urethral anastomosis...
