title: [Establishment of a robotic program].
abstract: Robotic surgery is expanding little by little in urology. At present only few centers have incorporated this new technology in Spain but it is predictable that this number will exponentially increase in a near future. We described the experience of our center establishing and developing a program of robotic surgery that it is operating since July 2006. It is important to know some basic premises that it is compulsory to fulfill to reach optimal results.
