Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy has become the gold standard for the surgical treatment of prostate cancer.
In recent years, new players in terms of surgical techniques are gaining importance, and additional techniques for cancer visualization have been introduced.
In this Special Issue, we want to discuss benefits and drawbacks, as well as new developments, associated with robotic surgery for prostate cancer. We want to discuss the implementation of AI, as well as 3D modelling, cancer visualization and associated topics. Additionally, we are interested in public healthcare data concerning robot-assisted radical prostatectomy and patient-related outcomes.
The aim of this Special Issue is to provide an overview of the current status of robotic surgery, as well as its future goals and unmet needs.
