A New Technique for Continent Urinary Diversion: Initial Experience and Description of the Technique
Orthotopic neobladder is a well-established surgical solution for continent urinary diversion after radical cystectomy. Nevertheless, it still represents a challenging surgery. Some critical issues of orthotopic bladder sub- stitution include relevant complication rates, renal function impairment, urinary incontinence and patient quality of life. A new ileal neobladder technique, Vesuvian Orthotopic Neobladder (VON), performed for the first time in 2020. To simplify and speed up the reservoir reconstruction through ten standardized technical steps and obtain an appropriate bladder capacity at the same time.
Magnetic-assisted robotic surgery: initial case series of reduced-port robotic prostatectomy
Introduction Robotic urologic surgery demonstrates advantages of decreased blood loss and improved post-operative recovery compared to open surgery. Tissue retraction is a complicated process achieved with patient positioning and the use of additional ports and instrumentation. Magnetic actuation of laparoscopic surgical equipment has demonstrated safety and efficacy. The Levita™ Magnetic Surgical System, a novel magnetic […]
