Abstract

Optimal patient positioning is essential for the success in robot-assisted renal surgery. It can improve exposure of the operative field, facilitate the use of assistant and fourth arm ports and avoid associated complications. In this chapter we will discuss standard positions with challenges and variations, port placement, robot docking and theatre layout.
