Innovation in Surgery: Idea, Development, Assessment, Exploration, and Long-Term Monitoring (IDEAL) Guidelines

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Robotics in Genitourinary Surgery

Abstract

The evidentiary standards to support the regulatory approval and dissemination of surgical innovation have historically been low. The IDEAL Collaboration has developed a framework and specific recommendations how to improve the development of surgical innovation that is finding increase recognition by researchers, editors, funders and regulators worldwide. In this chapter, we describe the IDEAL recommendations as they apply to robotic-assisted surgery in urology.
