Abstract
The da Vinci single-port (SP) system (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA) is the newest robotic platform released and approved for use in the urologist's armimentarium. This article (and complementary video) aims to summarize the most common problems that have been encountered at the University of Illinois at Chicago when using the SP system. Moreover, solutions to these issues will be presented.
