Single port laparoscopic or robotic surgery is emerging and progressing but is still very challenging for many surgeons due to less degree of motion and limited space leading to instrument crash. With the aid of new technology and instrumentation, limitations are constantly broken in robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery. A lot of initiations have been done over the past a few years. A wide range of single port laparoscopic or robot-assisted laparoscopic pelvic and retroperitoneal urological procedures can be done with different approaches for treating urogenital cancers. Randomized trials with larger sample size and longer postoperative follow up are suggested for further evaluation of the outcomes and added value.
