The advent of the purpose-built da Vinci single-port robotic platform marks a pivotal advancement in minimally invasive urological surgery. Designed to overcome the ergonomic and technical limitations of prior single-site approaches, the single-port system enables complex procedures through a single incision, with enhanced dexterity, optimized use of confined spaces and improved cosmetic and peri-operative outcomes. The single-port system has been increasingly used across a wide range of urological indications, including robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, partial nephrectomy, nephroureterectomy and reconstructive surgeries such as pyeloplasty and ureteral re-implantation.

The relative benefits of single-port (SP) versus multi-port (MP) robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for prostate cancer remain uncertain, with conflicting evidence reported in the literature. This systematic review aimed to compare perioperative outcome metrics, oncologic efficacy, and functional recovery outcomes between SP-RARP and MP-RARP. A thorough literature search was conducted using PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library to locate English-language research published until June 2025.

Extraperitoneal single-port robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (SP-RARP) using the da Vinci SP system (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA, US) offers a less invasive alternative to multi-port RARP. However, a significant limitation is the system's reduced instrument force, which makes retraction and manipulation of large, heavy organs particularly challenging. As a result, SP-RARP for prostates over 100 g has been considered difficult and is rarely reported.
