متن کاملVesicourethral anastomosis using V-Loc™ barbed suture during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy
In Europe, localized prostate cancer (PCa) is increasingly treated by robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. This minimally invasive procedure is technically evolving, with benefits to both the patient and surgeon. One of the final steps of the operation is the formation of a watertight vesicourethral anastomosis (VUA). A suboptimal anastomosis can lead to serious consequences, including acute u...
