A Survey on Twenty Years of Robotic Surgery in Italy: Evaluating Distribution, Bioetic Impact, and Future Directions.
The survey findings highlight the widespread use and influence of robotic surgery in Italian urology, showcasing enhanced patient care but also indicating technique discrepancies and restricted access in certain facilities. Standardization, accessibility, and ongoing training are vital for maximizing robotic surgery's potential across specialties.
