Abstract

The emergence of a robotic platform has revolutionized urological surgery and paved the way for more advanced operations to be performed using this minimally invasive modality. In the years following its debut, robotic procedures have become ubiquitous within the field of urology as indications for its use have expanded considerably. In this chapter, we present the principles of port placement, operative setup and proper patient positioning for robotic urological surgery in additional to details pertaining to commonly practiced robotic urological procedures.
