Summary
Robot-assisted surgery enables safe, minimally invasive uro-oncological procedures. Our review of 658 cases shows encouraging perioperative and oncological outcomes, supporting wider adoption.
Area of Science:
- Uro-oncology
- Minimally Invasive Surgery
- Robotic Surgery
Context:
- Retrospective review of 658 robot-assisted procedures from February 2022 to March 2024.
- Focus on perioperative and oncological outcomes.
- Includes radical prostatectomy, nephrectomy, and cystectomy procedures.
Purpose:
- To present the perioperative and oncological results of robot-assisted uro-oncological surgery.
- To evaluate the safety and efficacy of robotic procedures in a clinical setting.
- To highlight the department's experience and pioneering robotic techniques.
Summary:
- Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy with lymph node dissection averaged 229 minutes with 305 ml blood loss.
- Biochemical relapse-free rate was 81.6% at one year post-procedure.
- Included 165 partial nephrectomies, 48 radical nephrectomies, and innovative cystectomies with intracorporeal neobladder and retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy.
Impact:
- Robot-assisted surgery allows a full spectrum of radical uro-oncological procedures to be performed safely and minimally invasively.
- Encouraging results validate the increasing domestic distribution of robotic surgery.
- Demonstrates feasibility of advanced techniques like intracorporeal neobladder formation.

01:25Urinary Tract Calculi VI: Surgical Management
Procedures for Kidney StonesMedical intervention is necessary when kidney stones or renal calculi are too large to pass spontaneously (typically greater than 5 millimeters) when stones are accompanied by symptomatic infection (such as fever or pyelonephritis), when they impair kidney function, or when they cause persistent symptoms like severe pain, nausea, or urinary retention. Additionally, patients with only one kidney or those who cannot be treated with medical management also require...
01:28Urologic Endoscopic Procedure: Cystoscopic Examination
Meaning of Cystoscopic Examination:Cystoscopy is an essential diagnostic tool in urology that is used to assess the structure and function of the genitourinary system. It provides a direct view of the urethra, bladder, and, in some cases, the ureteral openings. This procedure helps detect structural abnormalities, infections, cancers, and blockages in the urinary tract. There are two types of cystoscopy:Flexible cystoscopy is commonly performed in outpatient settings due to its less invasive...
