Robotic and Minimally Invasive Urology

Faculty members of the Department of Urology are pioneers in developing new innovations and technologies that have led to safer and more effective treatments.

Among these advances are new approaches and techniques in minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgery, resulting in less discomfort, quicker recovery times and better outcomes compared to traditional “open” surgery for a variety of urologic conditions. UCLA Center for Advanced Surgical and Interventional Technology (CASIT).

UCLA Urology offers the full range of surgical options for patients, including minimally invasive and laparoscopic procedures, advanced robot-assisted surgery, and traditional open surgeries. Keeping in mind that each patient needs individualized treatment, our fellowship-trained urologists will recommend the least invasive and most effective method to treat your condition. Robotic surgery can sometimes be an excellent option for patients with urologic conditions. Any surgery that involves the delicate nerves, anatomy and function of the urologic system requires precision and experience. Our urologic robotic surgeons have performed more than 4,000 of these complex surgeries using the robot, dating back to 2004, and are among the most experienced robotic surgeons in the nation. Our urologists specialize in minimally invasive and robotic-assisted procedures for many urologic conditions, including:
