Prostate is located under the bladder sitting on the pelvic floor with important neighboring structures. The nerves alongside both sides of the prostate capsule are important for erection. In addition, muscular structures ensuring urinary continence are in close relationship with both the urinary bladder and the prostate.

It does not matter which technique is preferred during robotic radical prostatectomy surgery. Some technical points have a great importance in perioperative and postoperative periods concerning the possible side effects.

Robotic surgery is most frequently used in prostate cancer treatment in urology but it can also be employed in renal cancer treatment. Renal cancers may be diagnosed in different sides of kidneys with various dimensions.

Renal tumor surgeries are planned according to patient age, general health status, and the invasiveness of the tumor. Different treatment modalities are currently in use, but for a localized renal cancer, the gold-standard treatment is surgery.
