Robot-assisted surgery enables complex laparoscopic procedures in urology, including retroperitoneal and renal surgeries. This review details the rationale and technical steps for robotic nephroureterectomy.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Robotic Surgery

Background:

  • Robot-assisted surgery facilitates laparoscopic approaches for complex retroperitoneal and renal procedures.
  • Urologists increasingly perform radical nephroureterectomy, radical nephrectomy with IVC thrombectomy, and retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy laparoscopically.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the rationale for complex retroperitoneal and renal surgeries using a laparoscopic approach.
  • To provide a technical, step-by-step description of a robotic nephroureterectomy surgical technique.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on the rationale for laparoscopic retroperitoneal and renal surgeries.
  • Detailed technical description of a robotic nephroureterectomy procedure.
Keywords:
