Abstract:
Laparoendoscopic single-site surgery was developed to minimize the morbidity associated with laparoscopic surgery. Application of robotics in urologic surgery has been widely adopted given the advantages it provides over standard laparoscopy including 3-dimensional vision, improved ergonomics, enhanced precision and dexterity. The real benefit of robotic laparoendoscopic single-site surgery is still unbalanced by the limitations of this approach and the sole applicability by highly skilled surgeons. The ideal robotic platform for single-port surgery should have the possibility of being deployed through a single access site restoring intracorporeal triangulation for precise instrument maneuvers. This manuscript reviews the potential applications of R-1 new surgical robot, highlighting its added value in allowing new surgical approaches.
