The manuscript demonstrates that the most important risk factors for a positive surgical margin during robotic radical prostatectomy are pre-operative PSA and PSA density, as well as the pathologic stage and Gleason Grade.

This article demonstrates that in the hands of an experienced surgeon, rectal injury is an uncommon complication during robotic radical prostatectomy. However, when this rare complication does occur, this article describes a successful method of repair that utilizes robotics and does not require conversion to an open procedure.

This is the first description in North America whereby a radical cystectomy, bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection and continent orthotopic urinary diversion was performed for invasive bladder cancer entirely with the DaVinci robot.

This report is yet another demonstration of the advantages of robotic surgery in the treatment of patients with urologic cancers including bladder and urothelial.

The manuscript demonstrates the advantages of robotic surgery over standard laparoscopy in the performance of radical cystectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy for invasive bladder cancer.
