Abstract

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being integrated into robotic urologic surgery. However, existing literature remains fragmented across different technological domains. This scoping review aimed to systematically map and synthesize current evidence on AI applications within robotic urologic surgery, identifying principal domains, clinical relevance, and existing lim…
