To perform a systematic review (SR) and meta-analysis (MA) of outcomes of robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) for ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction in children. A SR of the English-language literature on surgical techniques and pe...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Robotic pyeloplasty is still a relatively novel procedure. Clinically, early studies have shown high success rates, decreased complication rates, decreased length of hospital stay, and better cosmetic results. This goal of this art...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Developments in robotic reconstructive urology have introduced novel treatments for complex upper and lower urinary tract disease. Short-term and mid-term data demonstrates excellent outcomes and minimal morbidity, suggesting the a...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The aim of the present manuscript was to provide an overview on the current state of robotic artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) implantation in male and female patients.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The increasing use of robotics in urologic surgery facilitates collection of 'big data'. Machine learning enables computers to infer patterns from large datasets. This review aims to highlight recent findings and applications of ma...

Robotic surgery has been slow to be fully accepted in the world of pediatric urology largely because of its initial application directed towards adult use and because of the inherent high cost associated with it. However, as previously shown, it has ...
Three-dimensional, high-definition images, small instruments with endowrist technology, ergonomic position and the easiness to teach, are possibly the main reasons why robotic surgery will continue to gain ground to others forms of surgery. The curre...
As robotics are becoming more integrated into the medical field, robotic training is becoming more crucial in order to overcome the lack of experienced robotic surgeons. However, there are several obstacles facing the development of robotic training ...
