Editorial Comment: Laparoscopic Single Port Cystolithotomy Using Pneumovesicum
نویسنده
چکیده
In an era with robotic partial nephrectomy dominating as the predominate modality to tackle small renal masses, Choiand Bae (1) demonstrate that advanced laparoscopic skill in urology is still alive and well. The difficulty in management with multiple renal tumors is not only nephron preservation, but how to limit the amount of warm ischemia when having to preform multiple resections and renorrhaphies. The utilization of off clamp partial technique in managing smaller and less complex masses allows to maintain manageable ischemia time, obviating the risk of permanent renal damage. While technically challenging, laparoscopic partial nephrectomy can afford all the benefits of minimally invasive surgery similar to robotics but yet without the costs. The challenge will become how do we continue to keep this skill set alive, as more and more training programs preform less laparoscopy and more robotics.

متن کاملEditorial Comment: Laparoscopic Single Port Cystolithotomy Using Pneumovesicum
Bladder stones account for ~5% of all urinary tract stones and are associated with bladder outlet obstruction, neurogenic or augmented bladders, infection or foreign bodies. Small bladder stones can be managed efficiently by transurethral methods and larger stones by open or laparoscopic approaches. However, the optimal management of multiple intermediate sized stones is controversial. Options ...

OBJECTIVE To report the technical feasibility of performing transvesical robotic radical prostatectomy (TRRP) in a cadaver. MATERIALS AND METHODS TRRP was performed in two fresh male cadavers (prostate volume 46 and 30 mL). In the first procedure we used four laparoscopic transvesical trocars and in the second a single-port device was placed percutaneously into the bladder. Pneumovesicum was ...

Minimally invasive laparoscopic surgical procedures are increasingly being used in the management of various urological diseases. In particular, the laparoscopic approach for intravesical surgery using pneumovesicum (LPV) is a minimally invasive alternative with potential advantages including decreased morbidity, shorter hospital stays, and improved cosmesis. We review the applications of LPV i...
متن کاملLaparoscopic nephroureterectomy with transvesical single-port distal ureter and bladder cuff dissection: points of technique and initial surgical outcomes with five patients
Although a variety of techniques have been used to manage the distal ureter during laparoscopic radical nephroureterectomy (LNU), a consensus has not yet been established. Recently, some authors have used a single-port transvesical approach to excise the distal ureter and bladder cuff following LNU. The aim of the study was to present our initial experience in "en bloc" dissection of the distal...
