The limitations in open surgeries and laparoscopic procedures, coupled with increasing advantages of urology robotic surgery systems are expected to boost the adoption rates of the robot-assisted surgeries worldwide. For instance,advantages such as the need for small incisions, fewer complications, minimal infection rates, and quick recovery encourage surgeons to adopt these robotic systems.The emergence of micro and nano robots in urology surgical procedures is likely to have a positive impact on the market growth, owing to potential advantages such as single incision surgery and supplementary visualization. Also, small arms and micro motors work on the body without the need for large external machines. Such advantages will drive the adoption rates of these devices.The increasing incidence of prostate cancer and the growing number of prostatectomies has fueled robotic surgeries. For instance, according to the Centers for disease control and prevention (CDC) statistics, in 2013, approximately 0.17 million individuals in the US were diagnosed with prostate cancer.The increasing focus of vendors to expand their offerings of urology robotic surgical systems in emerging economies is likely to change the market dynamics during the forecast period. For instance, in May 2016, the Peking University Cancer Hospital and the Beijing United Family Hospital collaborated to launch the Minimally Invasive Surgery Center, that features Da Vinci robotic surgeries.
