In addition, how best to retrieve the specimen after resection while minimizing the size of the wound is a challenge in robot\u2010assisted surgery. To solve these problems, we designed a surgical technique for robot\u2010assisted nephroureterectomy using the GelPoint Platform with a focus on port position optimization and specimen retrieval. This study describes the surgical technique of GelPoint robot\u2010assisted nephroureterectomy and reports our initial experience with this technique.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Between January 2023 and May 2024, seven patients underwent robot\u2010assisted nephroureterectomy using the GelPoint Platform and 11 underwent conventional robot\u2010assisted nephroureterectomy.
