Adoption of robotic technology in urology has been widely popularized as it provides considerable advantages over standard techniques, including improved instrument dexterity, three-dimensional high-definition optics, and enhanced ergonomics. As a result, these features have facilitated the adaptation of robotics for laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) to overcome challenges with clashing, suturing, and intra-abdominal triangulation. Since the inception of robotic LESS by our institution in 2008,¹ many centers have gone on to study this approach in various urologic applications. Herein we discuss the evolution of robotic LESS access, instrumentation, and outcomes with special focus on up-and-coming technology.
