Lateral Prostatectomy

Lateral pedicle control during laparoscopic radical prostatectomy: refined technique.

OBJECTIVES To report a technique of lateral pedicle control during laparoscopic radical prostatectomy that completely eliminates any form of electrocautery, ultrasonic thermal energy, clips, or bioadhesives. METHODS The technique was used in 25 men undergoing nerve-sparing laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. Our antegrade technique involves transient control of the lateral prostate pedicles w...

Prostatectomy

PROBABLY this book presents the contribution of modern biochemistry to some branches of medicine better than any other recent text-book. After a good discussion of the chemical structure of living matter, in which proteins are well described and carbohydrates, lipoids, and the various special constituents of different tissues adequately considered, the authors discuss aspects of the control and...

Incarcerated Right Lateral Trocar-Site Hernia as a Rare Complication of Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Prostatectomy

Background: Trocar-site hernia (TSH) is an uncommon complication following laparoscopic surgery and a potential cause of significant morbidity if bowel incarceration or strangulation occurs. Lateral trocar sites are intrinsically less susceptible to hernia development and traditionally do not mandate fascial closure. We present an unusual case involving an incarcerated TSH from a 12-mm right la...
