Laparoscopy is a rapidly evolving branch of urology and has replaced some open surgical techniques. Robot-assisted surgery of the prostate, kidney, and ureter has been expanding this field. Recently, many prostatectomies in theĀ are carried out by so-called robotic assistance. Today many urological procedures such as orchiopexy, varicocelectomy, inguinal herniorrhaphy, renal cyst resection, partial and radical nephrectomy etc are generally performed by laparoscopy and robotic assisted surgery.
