Single-Port vs. Multi-Port Robotic Surgery in Urologic Oncology: A Comparative Analysis of Current Evidence and Future Directions
2025
Overview
The evolution of robotic surgery in urologic oncology has led to the emergence of single-port (SP) robotic systems as a potential alternative to the widely adopted multi-port (MP) platforms. This narrative review provides a comprehensive comparison between SP and MP robotic systems, the former of which received FDA approval in 2018 and CE marking in 2024, focusing on their application across radical prostatectomy, partial and radical nephrectomy, and radical cystectomy. Drawing from the most current literature, we examine perioperative outcomes, oncologic efficacy, postoperative recovery, and complication rates. The review highlights the technical challenges unique to SP surgery, including restricted triangulation, limited instrumentation, and a defined learning curve, while also emphasizing innovations such as transvesical prostatectomy and the Supine Anterior Retroperitoneal Access (SARA) approach. Additionally, we explore the potential impact of emerging technologies—such as artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and telesurgery—on the future of SP platforms. Despite early limitations, SP systems have demonstrated comparable safety and effectiveness in selected cases and may offer unique advantages in specific anatomical scenarios. Continued innovation, structured training, and robust long-term outcome data will be essential for the broader adoption and integration of SP robotic surgery in clinical practice.
