Synchronous pyeloplasty, bladder diverticulectomy, and simple prostatectomy - All retroperitoneal from a single incision

• Single port robot makes concurrent multisite surgery more feasible than multiport platforms. • Concurrent multisite surgery offers patients the advantage of quicker recovery time without added risks of complications. • The single port robot is able to access multi quadrant surgical fields through a single retroperitoneal incision decreasing risk of bowel injury.
