The introduction of robotic surgery to the field of urology has had a dramatic impact on practice patterns worldwide. Few events have had as significant an impact on the field of urology even greater than the introduction of shock wave lithotripsy, lasers, percutaneous surgery, and laparoscopy. Despite the widespread adoption of robotics into urologic practice, robotic urologic procedures remain technically complex and the skill sets required to perform robotic surgery differ significantly from that of traditional open surgery.
