Miami Friday Session 19 Urology 1

Exploring the next frontier of precision-driven urologic surgery, this session covers three cases that each stretch robotic technique into more specialized territory. The discussion opens with anterior Retzius-sparing single-port extraperitoneal robotic radical prostatectomy, an approach designed to preserve continence and sexual function while treating prostate cancer. From there, the conversation shifts to robotic surgery for pediatric solid abdominal tumors, a comparatively rare application that requires adapting adult robotic technique to a pediatric anatomical context. The session closes with a look at indocyanine green, or ICG, imaging used during robotic heminephrectomy for horseshoe kidney, a congenital anomaly that adds significant complexity to partial kidney removal. Urologists, pediatric surgical oncologists, and robotic surgery trainees will find this session valuable for understanding how robotic platforms and advanced imaging are being adapted to address anatomically complex and less common cases. The presentations reflect a broader trend in urology toward function-preserving technique and imaging-guided precision, offering useful insight into cases that extend well beyond standard prostatectomy or nephrectomy procedures.
