It concerns surgical procedures being performed either by the urethra towards the prostate to the urinary bladder or even the upper urinary tract (kidneys and ureters) or by microscopic abdominal openings without an incision. The goal of these methods is less pain, less hospitalization, fast recovery and the best cosmetic result. Robotic surgery is a recently developed advanced laparoscopic technique with the instruments being moved by a system of robotic arms which are quided by the surgeon’s fingers.
