Abstract：This study outlinespecific rules and principles to be followed as a qualified urological robotic surgery assistant,which help setting the surgical standards.We divide robotic urology surgery into three kinds:upper urinary tract operations,lower urinary tract operations and operations involving upper and lower urinary tracts.We summarized placement of trocars in specifiedrobotic surgery,which followed the principle of lens-target organs-work station in one line,principle of "8 cm and 120°" and principle of "open and lift the arms" in order to reduce the opportunity of instrument fighting.In order to communicate freely between person and person and from person and machine,we need to be familiar with surgical procedures and operators'' habits.As a new hand,we must follow the way of simpleness to complexity,lower urinary tract operations to upper urinary tract operations,transperitoneal operations to retroperitoneal operations and finally to the patients with surgical history or rare abnormal operations.Only shorten learning curve can we become a qualified robotic surgery first assistant rapidly.
