This review discusses recent advances in robotic surgery for urologic tumors, focusing on three key areas: robotic systems, assistive technologies, and artificial intelligence. The Da Vinci SP system has enhanced the minimally invasive nature of robotic surgeries, while the Senhance system offers advantages such as tactile feedback and eye-tracking capabilities. Technologies like 3D reconstruction combined with augmented reality and fluorescence imaging aid surgeons in precisely identifying the anatomical relationships between tumors and surrounding structures, improving surgical efficiency and outcomes. Additionally, the development of artificial intelligence lays the groundwork for automated robotics. As these technologies continue to evolve, we are entering an era of minimally invasive, precise, and intelligent robotic surgery.
