Expanding Horizons: Robotic Surgery in Functional and Reconstructive Urology

Robotic surgery has transformed functional and reconstructive urology (FRU) by improving operative precision, expanding reconstructive capabilities, and supporting favorable perioperative outcomes. Although robotic platforms have been widely adopted for oncologic urologic procedures, their use in FRU is still evolving, with ongoing refinements in technique, indications, and perioperative management. This review summarizes current applications of robotic surgery in FRU, highlights practical challenges and limitations, and discusses future directions for the field.
