A Novel Technique for Post-Prostatectomy Catheter Traction
نویسنده
چکیده
BACKGROUND Prostate traction is one way to control post-prostatectomy bleeding. The most popular method involves traction with a catheter fixed to the thigh with adhesive bands. However, this method has its own drawbacks. OBJECTIVES We aimed to simplify this traction procedure and to overcome its disadvantages. PATIENTS AND METHODS From 2007 - 2015, a new method was used to control post-prostatectomy bleeding in 152 patients. This technique involved inducing pressure on the prostate neck with an indwelling catheter attached to a partially filled urine bag to control bleeding after a prostatectomy. RESULTS The new method effectively controlled post-prostatectomy bleeding. A few patients required surgical intervention. CONCLUSIONS Post-prostatectomy catheter traction using a semi-filled urine bag was an acceptable alternative to the standard method to control post-operative bleeding.

Modified technique in Freyer's prostatectomy to achieve hemostasis
This study is an attempt to develop a technique by which complete hemostasis can be achieved on table by giving traction to the Foley's catheter thereby compressing the venous plexus and the avulsed prostatic arteries at the bladder neck by the inflated balloon. A total of 170 cases of BPH were operated by Freyer's Suprapubic Trans-vesicle prostatectomy. In the technique, bladder mucosa is repo...
متن کاملStandardized 4-step technique of bladder neck dissection during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy
Bladder neck (BN) dissection is considered one of the most challenging steps during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. Better understanding of the BN anatomy, coupled with a standardized approach may facilitate dissection while minimizing complications. We describe in this article the 4 anatomic spaces during standardized BN dissection, as well other technical maneuvers of managing difficult...

BACKGROUND/AIM The aim of this study was to gauge whether removal of a specimen with traction during robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy causes a positive surgical margin or not. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred and sixty-nine patients with localized prostate cancer who underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy from 2009 to 2011 were included in the study. Aft...
متن کاملLaparoscopic radical prostatectomy by extraperitoneal access with duplication of the open technique.
INTRODUCTION The laparoscopic radical prostatectomy is a continually developing technique. Transperitoneal access has been preferred by the majority of centers that employ this technique. Endoscopic extraperitoneal access is used by a few groups, nevertheless it is currently receiving a higher acceptance. In general, the antegrade technique is used, with dissection from the bladder neck to the ...
متن کاملUrethtral approach in retroperitoneoscopic radical prostatectomy: a novel technique for safe prostate dissection.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) remains technically challenging and is associated with a steep learning curve. Prostate apex dissection (PAD) is one the most challenging elements of LRP. This study describes a novel technique for PAD using a transurethral approach (urethral assistance). METHODS Through the transurethral route, Young's foreign body forceps is...
