Opening the Horizons of Functional Urology and Neurourology to Robot-assisted Surgery

Robot-assisted surgery is likely to become the new standard of care for functional urology and neurourology. It has the potential to fill the gap that has prevented the spread of laparoscopic surgery in these fields. With its many technical advantages, together with the potentially more efficient training of junior surgeons, robot-assisted surgery could finally bring more homogeneity to high-level surgical procedures in functional urology and neurourology worldwide.
