Vesicourethral anastomotic stenosis (VUAS) occurs after 1 to 3% of robotic-assisted radical prostatectomies (RARPs). Pelvic fascia-sparing techniques preserve more native anatomy and may reduce stenoses, but evidence is lacking. The aim of this study was...

Ileal ureter interposition is a well-established option for complex ureteral strictures. While minimally invasive approaches have evolved, the application of the single-port (SP) robotic platform for ileal ureter reconstruction has not been previously...

To describe our institutional experience of a case series using a novel multi-segment, chimeric free ileal flap for posterior urethral reconstruction, focusing on surgical technique, perioperative management, and functional outcomes. Complex posterior...

To compare the outcomes of patients undergoing robotic YV plasty for bladder neck contracture (BNC) vs. vesico-urethral anastomotic stricture (VUAS). A retrospective study included male patients who underwent robotic YV plasty for BNC after endoscopic...

Bladder neck contracture and vesicourethral anastomotic stenosis are difficult to manage endoscopically, and open repair is associated with high rates of incontinence. In recent years, there have been increasing reports of robotic-assisted bladder neck...
Urology · 2023
To determine surgical outcomes in a large of cohort men undergoing robotic-assisted posterior urethroplasty (RPU), which has been described in small series as a viable option. We performed a retrospective review of all 105 men who underwent RPU from...
The Urologic clinics of North America · 2022
With the widespread dissemination of robotic surgical platforms, pathologies that were previously deemed challenging can now be treated more reliably with minimally invasive procedures via the robot. The advantages of precise articulation for dissection...
Urology · 2021
To describe the technique, feasibility and short-term outcomes of buccal mucosa grafts in robotic lower urinary tract reconstruction. We reviewed 9 patients who underwent single-port robotic posterior urethroplasty with buccal mucosa graft from...
Urology · 2021
To describe the outcomes of single-stage and staged repairs in properly selected patients with phalloplasty anastomotic strictures. A bi-institutional retrospective review was performed of all patients who underwent anastomotic stricture repairs between...
Therapeutic advances in urology · 2021
With the widespread dissemination of robotic surgical platforms, pathology previously deemed insurmountable or challenging has been treated with reliable and replicable outcomes. The advantages of precise articulation for dissection and suturing, tremor...

Refractory vesicourethral anastomotic stenosis (VUAS) after radical prostatectomy poses challenges distinct from bladder neck contracture, due to close proximity to the sphincter mechanism. Open reconstruction is technically demanding, risking de novo...

To review a robotic approach to recalcitrant bladder neck obstruction and to assess success and incontinence rates. Patients with a recalcitrant bladder neck contracture or vesicourethral anastomotic stenosis who underwent robotic bladder neck...
Urology · 2018
To demonstrate the technique and the outcomes of robot assisted Y-V plasty bladder neck reconstruction (RYVBNR). We present our technique for treatment of recalcitrant bladder neck contracture (BNC) in 7 patients who underwent RYVBNR at our institution...

To evaluate our 5-year experience with deep lateral transurethral incisions of bladder neck contracture (TUIBNC), identify risk factors associated with failure of procedure, and assess outcomes of men subsequently treated for concomitant or de novo stress...
Journal of endourology · 2009
Approximation of the bladder to urethra during robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) is a critical step toward achieving long-term continence. To determine the impact on surgical outcomes after RALP, we compare two techniques for constructing...
