title: Computer assisted robotic surgery in urooncology.
abstract: Robotic surgery is a significant advance in the realm of urologic surgery esp. for uro genital cancers and reconstructive procedures. Robotic surgery is associated with precision and ease in dissection, incision and suturing with less steep learning curve in comparison to laparoscopy. It provides all benefits of minimally invasive surgery. At present, cost is a prohibitive factor. Robotic surgery is going to stay and is going to open new avenues for, image guided and telepresence surgery.
