OBJECTIVE: Vaginal prolapse is a known complication after radical cystectomy, requiring additional procedures in 10% of the patients. This results from loss of level I and II vaginal support due to the removal of pelvic structures. In addition, a neo...
Robotic assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) is a standard option for the treatment of bladder cancer. Currently, novel platforms are entering the market and the Hugo RAS (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA) is a new system consisting of an open console w...
Surgery for rectal cancer patients with an ileal conduit after total cystectomy is difficult because adhesions in the pelvis and around the ileal conduit are expected. In the present case, we performed robot-assisted low anterior resection of the rec...
BACKGROUND: Little is known regarding functional outcomes after robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) and intracorporeal neobladder (ICNB) reconstruction.
OBJECTIVE: To provide the first clinical validation of the European Association of Urology Robotic Urology Section (ERUS) curriculum for training in robot-assisted radical cystectomy with intracorporeal urinary diversion (iRARC).

INTRODUCTION: Ureteral stent placement in robot-assisted intracorporeal ileal conduit formation (RICIC) is more challenging than extracorporeal urinary diversion. We developed a novel dedicated device called the Assistent guide for safe and smooth pe...
PURPOSE: Functional outcomes of robot-assisted (RA) radical cystectomy (RC) with intracorporeal orthotopic neobladder (i-ON) have been poorly investigated. The study aimed to report functional outcomes of a prospective randomized controlled trial (RC...
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to assess midterm functional outcomes and complications of robot-assisted laparoscopic cystectomy with non-continent urinary diversion in patients with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Recently, several trials as well as registry-data analyses investigating the role of robot-assisted radical cystectomy with extra or intracorporal urinary diversion were completed and follow up matured. This review aims to comment ...
PURPOSE: To investigate the feasibility of the avatera system for performing robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) followed by intracorporeal reconstruction of ileal neobladder.
