The role of the robot in treating urinary tract endometriosis

Abstract

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To detail the recent advances in the use of computer-enhanced robotic technology to surgically treat urinary tract endometriosis. RECENT FINDINGS: Few studies have been published in this field. The studies are severely limited in scope. Further study is warranted. SUMMARY: Robotic-assisted laparoscopic techniques have proven useful in the treatment of extensive endometriosis and may prove useful in the treatment of urinary tract endometriosis.
