Transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBTs) can be a challenging procedure, primarily due to limitations in tooltip dexterity, visualization, and lack of tissue depth information. A transurethral robotic system was developed to revolutionize TURBTs by addressing some of these limitations. The results of three pilot in vivo porcine studies using the novel robotic system are presented and potential improvements are proposed based on experimental observations.
