Robot-assisted Radical Prostatectomy with the Dexter Robotic System: Initial Experience and Insights into On-demand Robotics.

We report the world's first case series of ten robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) procedures performed with the Dexter robotic system (Distalmotion SA, Épalinges, Switzerland). The Dexter system is an open robotic platform that integrates into the existing operating room (OR) equipment. The optional sterile environment for the surgeon console provides flexibility for transition between a robot-assisted surgical procedure and a traditional laparoscopic setup, allowing surgeons to selectively use their preferred laparoscopic devices for specific surgical maneuvers on-demand.
