Core Viewpoint - Surgical robots are reshaping the landscape of precise minimally invasive diagnosis and treatment in urology, becoming an indispensable tool in the field [3][5]. Group 1: Current Trends in Urology - The incidence of urological diseases is rising due to an aging population, with prostate cancer rates in Shanghai nearing those of developed countries [3][4]. - Key urological diseases such as prostate cancer, kidney cancer, and bladder cancer are increasingly prevalent, influenced by dietary and lifestyle factors [3][4]. Group 2: Role of Surgical Robots - Surgical robots, including both imported and domestic models, play a crucial role in urological tumor diagnosis and treatment, meeting the high precision and delicacy required in surgeries [3][5]. - In urology, robotic surgeries account for 50% of procedures at Xinhua Hospital, indicating a strong demand for robotic assistance in this specialty [5][7]. Group 3: Advantages of Robotic Surgery - Robotic systems offer enhanced flexibility and precision, allowing for 360-degree rotation and improved visualization, which is critical for delicate procedures [5][7]. - The use of robotic assistance significantly reduces surgical trauma, minimizes blood loss, shortens hospital stays, and accelerates patient recovery [7][8]. Group 4: Challenges and Opportunities - Despite the growing adoption of robotic surgery in China, there remains a significant gap compared to international standards, particularly in the availability of robotic systems in smaller hospitals [9][10]. - The rapid development of domestic surgical robots is narrowing the gap with imported models, with improvements in operational smoothness and flexibility noted [10][11]. Group 5: Future Prospects - The increasing approval rate of domestic surgical robots, which reached 81.7%, indicates a shift towards domestic production and global competitiveness [11]. - Continuous technological advancements and policy support are expected to enhance the capabilities of domestic surgical robots, making them more accessible and effective for patients [11].
