Application of robot-assisted laparoscopic technique in urology: The latest 15-year data in China / 第二军医大学学报

ABSTRACT

Da Vinci robotic surgical system has many unique advantages, including 3D high-definition vision system, simulation wrist with high degree of freedom, automatically removing the physiologic hand tremor and allowing sitting position for the operators. It was introduced into Chinese mainland in 2006, and has been widely applied in many fields, especially in urology (accounting for 46% of all clinical fields). In this paper, we analyzed the latest 15 years' application data of robot-assisted laparoscopic technique in urology in China and discussed the application characteristics and existing problems.
