• Chapter: Difficulties in Robotic-Assisted Nerve-Sparing Radical Prostatectomy

  Gerald Y. Tan, Philip J. Dorsey, Ashutosh K. Tewari
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: Serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening, coupled with a rising incidence of needle biopsies in asymptomatic men, have all contributed to prostate cancer becoming the most common cancer in men in the United States1,2 and other parts of the world.3 With increasing evidence of improved long-term survival and progression-free outcomes,4–7 radical prostatectomy has become increasingly popular as the treatment of first choice for organ-confined disease.

• Chapter: Methods and Maneuvers for Improving Functional Outcomes During Robotic Radical Prostatectomy

  ABSTRACT: Prostate cancer remains a pressing public health concern worldwide. In 2009, more than 192,000 men were diagnosed with the disease, and more than 27,000 men died from it in the United States alone [1]. The advent of serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening, coupled with a rising incidence of needle biopsies in asymptomatic men, has contributed to prostate cancer becoming the most common cancer in men in the United States [1, 2] and other parts of the world [3]. With increasing evidence of improved long-term survival and progression-free outcomes [4–10], radical prostatectomy has become increasingly popular as the treatment of first choice for organ-confined disease.

  ABSTRACT: Patients with large median prostate lobes undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy are at potential risk of ureteric orifice injury, during posterior bladder neck transection and vesicourethral anastomosis reconstruction. We describe our technique of in situ robot-assisted ureteral stenting with double-pigtail stents for accurate observation and preservation of the ureteral orifices. We have performed this maneuver in over 30 patients in our cohort of over 1500 patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy to date--none of these patients developed urinary leak or bladder neck contracture, and had uneventful cystoscopic removal of stents at 6 weeks after surgery.
