Abstract

Rapid urologic innovations in minimally invasive treatment are creating exciting new horizons in endourology. However, these new concepts are blurring the traditional boundary between endourology and oncology. Organ-sparing surgery, laparoscopy, robotics systems, and image-guided ablation techniques enable surgeons to develop specifically tailored treatments for patients. We examine recent developments and future prospects for how new technology will continue to advance the field of endourology.
