Single-Port Robotic Surgery in Urology

**Selected for Doody's Core Titles(R) 2024 in Urology**Single-Port Robotic Surgery in Urology: The New Beginning After the Advent of Dedicated Platforms describes the novel field of robotic single-port urologic surgery. Recent advances in surgical robotics combined with the pursuit to reduce the invasiveness of laparoscopic surgery have led to the development of novel robotic platforms specifically designed for single-port surgery. This reference summarizes the state-of-the-art of robotic single-port urologic surgery. Coverage takes a three-part approach, providing a description of the technological evolution which led to the advent of novel platforms specifically designed for single-port surgery, describing the urological procedures that can be performed, and outcomes and potential drawbacks. - Provides a description of the current status of single-port robotic urologic surgery performed using novel dedicated platforms- Expands understanding on why single-port is better than the standard multi-arms robotic approach, highlighting an analysis of surgical steps- Summarizes data about each intervention, including pooled comparative analyses, to provide the most evidence-based examination possible
