Long-term oncological and surgical outcomes after Video Endoscopic Inguinal Lymphadenectomy (VEIL) in patients with penile cancer.

Objective: To report outcomes from the largest multicenter series of penile cancer patients undergoing video endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy (VEIL).

Materials And Methods: Retrospective multicenter analysis. Authors of 21 centers from the Penile Cancer Collaborative Coalition-Latin America (PeC-LA) were included.

Videoendoscopic gracilis muscle flap (VEGMF): A new minimally invasive technique for rectovesical fistula closure.

Fistulas between the rectum and the bladder have different etiologies, they may be congenital, acquired, or iatrogenic. Symptoms such as pneumaturia, fecaluria, and the passage of urine through the rectum are often alleviated by fecal and urinary diversion. The interposition of a flap of gracilis muscle is a technique that is very successful, but the conventional dissection of this flap involves a very large incision and a worse aesthetic result

Short-Term Surgical Outcomes of Standard and Lateral Video Endoscopic Inguinal Lymphadenectomy: A Multinational Retrospective Study.

Video endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy (VEIL) is a minimally invasive technique that gives superior surgical outcomes than open inguinal lymphadenectomy (IL) for treating lymph node metastasis in penile, vulvar, and skin cancers. This study compared surgical outcomes obtained with two different approaches of VEIL, standard VEIL and lateral VEIL (L-VEIL), in cancer patients. Sixty-two patients who underwent standard VEIL ( = 15) or L-VEIL ( = 47) for treatment of lymph node metastasis were evaluated retrospectively from three centers in Brazil, Egypt, and India.
