Uro-Oncology in the Robotic Era: Advancements, Limitations, and Further Perspectives
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent decades, we have witnessed a growing interest in the application of robotic surgical platforms in the field of uro-oncology. This has brought shorter operation and recovery times, reduced pain, and superior cosmetic outcomes. Since their earliest application, robots have revolutionized the treatment of uro-genital malignances and, nowadays, most radical prostatectomies and radical/partial nephrectomies are performed using a robot-assisted approach. Robotics is progressively becoming the standard of care also for the treatment of urothelial carcinomas (although results of recent randomized-controlled trials comparing robot-assisted and open surgery reported conflicting results) and the path towards the application of minimally invasive approaches to penile cancer treatment has been paved. This Topic aims to offer a comprehensive overview of recent applications, advances, challenges and future perspectives concerning robotic uro-oncology. We invite manuscripts that contain both theoretical and practical/experimental results. Potential topics include but are not limited to the following: robotic prostatectomy, robotic partial nephrectomy, robotic cystectomy, robotic nephroureterectomy, robotic adrenalectomy, robotic inguinal lymphadenectomy for penile cancer, and robotic approaches to complications resulting from uro-oncologic treatments.
