Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to inform you that we are organizing a new Special Issue entitled “Robotic Surgery in Urology: Current Advances and Future Perspectives” for the Journal of Clinical Medicine.
Robotic surgery has become the surgical approach of choice in modern urology, moving from limited indications to standard of care for major malignant and benign urological conditions, particularly in oncology and reconstructive procedures. Recent advances focus on the availability of multiple robotic platforms, single-port technology, augmented reality and sensory simulation, as well as the use of artificial intelligence, increasingly enabling precision surgery.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to summarize the latest innovations in robotic surgery in urology and the future perspectives that may be derived from current research.
Urologists and engineers are encouraged to submit their findings as original articles or reviews to this Special Issue.
Dr. Davide Campobasso
Guest Editor
