Minimally invasive urologic surgery has undergone a revolutionary transformation in recent years, driven by technological advancements and a growing emphasis on patient-centred care. This has led to the emergence of new minimally invasive surgical techniques (MISTs) for the treatment of benign and malignant urologic conditions, as well as the adoption of novel technologies such as lasers and robotic systems. Laparoscopy and robotic surgery have become the cornerstone of pelvic and upper tract oncology, providing a less invasive alternative to traditional open surgery. Robotic prostatectomy, brachytherapy, radiotherapy, cryotherapy, and high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) are now commonly used for the treatment of prostate cancer. Robotic partial nephrectomy and cryotherapy have similarly transformed the management of renal cancer, while robotic cystectomy and en-bloc resection of bladder cancer have emerged as promising treatments for muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
