Purpose: To test the impact of surgeon experience on urinary continence (UC) recovery after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Materials and Methods: The study included 1477 consecutive patients treated with RARP by four surgeons between 2006 and 2014. UC recovery was defined as being completely dry over a 24-hour period at follow-up....

The DaVinci robot is a technological system which allows the surgeon to "easily" perform advanced surgery with a minimally invasive approach [1]. However, there aren't strong evidences but only expert opinions and feasibility studies as far as paediatrics is concerned [2-7].

Background Minimally invasive treatment of benign ureteral strictures is still challenging because of its technical complexity. In this context, robot-assisted surgery may overcome the limits of the laparoscopic approach. Objective To evaluate outcomes for robotic ureteral repair in a multi-institutional cohort of patients treated for...
