to report a single expert robotic surgeon step-by-step surgical technique for achieving local cancer control during robotic PN (RPN) for T3 tumors.

Since January 2010 to December 2016, the institutional RPN database was queried for patients who underwent transperitoneal RPN performed by a single-surgeon for tumors ≤ 4 mm from the collecting system at preoperative computed tomography (3 points on the "N (Nearness)" RENAL-score item) that were pT3a involving sinus fat at final pathology.

Radical cystectomy and urinary diversion remains the standard surgical treatment for patients with muscle-invasive or high-risk or recurrent non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Although this approach prolongs patient survival remarkably, there are postoperative complications associated with urinary diversion.

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common disease in women. The aim of this research was to evaluate the safety, efficacy and complication of transvaginal modified sacrospinous ligament fixation with mesh using for the treatment of vaginal vault prolapse.

OBJECTIVE - To explore the surgical, oncological and functional outcomes of laparoscopic radical prostatectomy in patients who have undergone transurethral resection of the prostate, using a catheter balloon inflated in the prostatic urethra.

To compare the learning curves, perioperative and early functional outcomes after HoLEP and GreenLEP.

Data from the first 100 consecutive cases treated by GreenLEP and HoLEP by two surgeons were prospectively collected from dedicated databases and analysed retrospectively.

INTRODUCTION - Creation of a watertight vesicourethral anastomosis is a challenging and time-consuming procedure. In an attempt to simplify this critical step of radical prostatectomy we have developed a laparoscopic running single suture technique and presented preliminary results previously.

Grafting techniques in the surgical management of Peyronie's disease (PD) are challenging, especially in inexperienced hands. In order to improve surgical outcomes the urologist should follow a standard surgical approach, preferably of an established and reliable grafting technique.

Due to the proximity of the rhabdosphincter and cavernous nerves to the membranous urethra, reconstruction of membranous urethral stricture implies a risk of urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction.

Our first objective was to report our experience on robot-assisted vesico-vaginal fistula (VVF) repair after radical surgery for gynecologic malignancies without omental flap interposition using a da Vinci robotic system.

To investigate the feasibility and surgical technique of robotic perineal radical prostatectomy (RPRP).

We retrospectively analyzed 6 consecutive patients diagnosed with prostate cancer from December 2018 to May 2019 who underwent RPRP at our center.

The Latzko transvaginal vesicovaginal fistula repair is a highly effective treatment for even complex fistulae. Our video demonstrates the Latzko technique and its application in a variety of circumstances including fistula management concurrent with treatment of uterovaginal prolapse, following complex urologic surgery, and in the postpartum setting after urologic injury.

The aim of the study was to we describe the new surgical approach of constructing single site transperitoneal cutaneostomy with the use of sigmoid colon accompanied by skin modified fixation technique and its clinical outcomes.

Vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) is a distressing disorder in women. The transvaginal method of VVF repair is generally preferred, as its minimally invasive nature appears to offer several advantages compared with the abdominal approach, including decreased pain and blood loss and reduced hospital stay.

We investigated the success rate of different surgical techniques for bulbar stricture repair.

Retrospective study of patients with bulbar urethral strictures treated using different techniques.

To analyze contemporary urethroplasty trends and urethral stricture etiologies over a seven-year study period amongst urologists from a large multi-institutional surgical outcomes group.

Review of a multi-institutional, prospectively maintained urethroplasty database was performed on 2,098 anterior urethroplasties done between 2010 and 2017 by 10 surgeons.

Vesicovaginal fistula is the most commonly encountered sequela of genitourinary trauma. Although the etiology differs between developed and developing countries, the principles of fistula repair must be strictly adhered to for success.
