摘要 It has been almost four decades since we urologists intensively started to embrace the techniques of endoscopic surgery, and applied it into our daily clinical practice. Endourology has actually revolutionized the practice pattern of not only academic but also practicing urologists worldwide. Since early 1990, the advent of laparoscopic surgery and later robotic assisted surgery truly witnessed the progress of the minimally invasive therapy in Urology. I am honored to have this opportunity to invite world renowned scholars to contribute into this special issue entitled “Recent Advances in Oncological Endourology” in Asian Journal of Urology. I would like to express my gratitude for their efforts. The concept of minimally invasive surgical technique has gathered great attention from physicians as well as our patients. Without question, the driving force is multifactorial, which includes tremendous progress in modern mechanical and intelligent technology, the acceptance of minimally invasive concept by patients and the broadcasting effects by the media.
