With the maturity of surgical robotic systems based on traditional rigid-link principles, the rate
of progress slowed as limits of size and controllable degrees of freedom were reached …

Purpose: To critically review perioperative outcomes, positive surgical margin (PSM) rates,
and functional outcomes of several large series of retropubic radical prostatectomy (RRP) …

Context Minimally invasive radical prostatectomy (MIRP) has diffused rapidly despite limited
data on outcomes and greater costs compared with open retropubic radical prostatectomy …

BACKGROUND: Several studies have shown that robot-assisted laparoscopic radical
prostatectomy (RALP) is feasible, with favorable complication rates and short hospital times …

BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) has evolved as a minimally
invasive alternative to open radical cystectomy for patients with invasive bladder cancer …

Introduction Lack of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compare pure laparoscopic
radical prostatectomy (LRP) with robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALRP) …

What's known on the subject? and What does the study add? Numerous urological
procedures can now be performed with robotic assistance. Though not definitely proven to …

CONTEXT: This review focuses on positive surgical margins (PSM) in radical prostatectomy
(RP). OBJECTIVE: To address the etiology, incidence, and oncologic impact of PSM and …

Open radical prostatectomy (ORP) is the reference standard for the surgical management of
localized prostate cancer. With wider availability of minimally invasive radical prostatectomy …

Objectives To assess the safety and feasibility of the da Vinci® SP (Intuitive Surgical,
Sunnyvale, CA, USA) robotic platform for a consecutive series of patients who underwent …
