However, in the field of pelvic trauma, limited knowledge is available as concerns robot-assisted surgery. Methods: In this study, a review of the literature was undertaken, and based on the available knowledge and our own clinical experience, we performed urethral repair and pelvic ring reconstruction using a da Vinci SP robot. Results: Given that, to the best of our knowledge, no report on urethral repair in severe trauma via robot-assisted osteosynthesis using a single-port robot has been published thus far, we present a novel study on the use of a single-port robot in pelvic traumatology, including its advantages and limitations. Conclusions: Single-port robotic urethral repair in cases of severe pelvic trauma is feasible and presents great advantages, with findings indicating that even single-port robotic-assisted reconstruction of the anterior pelvic ring is possible. However, our study contained limitations, and additional small incisions for reposition and screw placement purposes were necessary during surgery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm14196920","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,30]],"date-time":"2025-09-30T09:12:23Z","timestamp":1759223543000},"page":"6920","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Review and First Study of a Single-Port Robot in Pelvic Traumatology"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Sebastian","family":"Rogenhofer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology and Pediatric Urology, Klinikum Aschaffenburg-Alzenau, Am Hasenkopf 1, D-63739 Aschaffenburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6175-2754","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ren\u00e9","family":"Hartensuer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics, Traumatology, Hand Surgery and Sports Medicine, Klinikum Aschaffenburg-Alzenau, Am Hasenkopf 1, D-63739 Aschaffenburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"205","DOI":"10.1186\/s13018-022-03089-2","article-title":"Design and Evaluation of an Intelligent Reduction Robot System for the Minimally Invasive Reduction in Pelvic Fractures","volume":"17","author":"Zhao","year":"2022","journal-title":"J.
