Abstract
Single-port robotic surgery is rapidly adopted in the urology community for upper tract urological procedures, with potential benefits such as less postoperative morbidity, a shorter hospital stay, and faster recovery compared to conventional approaches. The multi-quadrant feature of this platform is very helpful to perform partial nephrectomy through single-site retroperitoneal access, irrespective of the tumor location. Similarly, the surgeon can approach the ureteropelvic junction for pyeloplasty through a Pfannenstiel abdominal incision. In this chapter, we describe the potential application of single-port robotic surgery for partial nephrectomy and pyeloplasty as common upper tract surgical procedures. Technical details of single-port retroperitoneal robotic partial nephrectomy and single-port robotic pyeloplasty through Pfannenstiel’s abdominal incision will be discussed. As emerging techniques in this field, both approaches can potentially offer a less morbid surgical procedure with a short hospital stay and a rapid convalescence period.
