In urology, various surgeries, including kidney stone removal, kidney and bladder cancer surgery, prostate cancer surgery, cystectomies with bladder reconstruction, nephrostomies, partial nephrectomies, pyeloureteral junction repairs, and laparoscopic promontofixations, are often performed with the assistance of surgical robots, known as robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery.
Surgeons seek precision (in suturing), a minimally invasive technique, and a shorter overall procedure time, typically less than 3 hours, including setup. These approaches aim to provide benefits for patients, including the preservation or enhancement of urinary and erectile functions.
Our team of engineers and developers is planning to extend the Cobodoc surgical cobotics system for single-rod urology surgery.
