Aims and objectives of this session This year ESOU and ERUS have decided to organize a joint meeting during the Annual EAU Congress. The main goals are to discuss in a very objective way the actuarial role of robotic surgery compared to standard approaches. The meeting will be characterised by debates between two experienced and well-known surgeons who will describe the surgical techniques that underlie the pros and contras of each technique. The topics that will be discussed are prostate cancer, radical prostatectomy, bladder cancer, radical cystectomy, renal cancer and partial nephrectomy. Outcomes, patients’ quality of life and costs of each procedure will be elucidated and discussed. The interaction with the audience will be prioritised. A final summary will conclude the session.
