Historical Considerations and Surgical Quality Improvement in Robotic Prostatectomy

Danly O Omil-Lima et al. Urol Clin North Am. 2021 Feb.

Abstract

Laparoscopic prostatectomy was technically challenging and not widely adopted. Robotics led to the widespread adoption of minimally invasive prostatectomy, which has been used heavily, supplanting the open and traditional laparoscopic approach. The benefits of robotic prostatectomy are disputed. Data suggest that robotic prostatectomy outcomes have improved over time.

Keywords: Minimally invasive surgery; Prostate cancer; Robotic prostatectomy; Surgical quality improvement.
