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.

Salvage Retzius sparing robotic assisted radical prostatectomy: the first brazilian experience.

Introduction:: Salvage Radical Prostatectomy after radiation therapy is challenging and associated with high rates of serious complications (1, 2). The novel Retzius-Sparing RARP (RS-RARP) approach has shown excellent continence outcomes (3, 4).

Purpose:: To describe step-by-step our Salvage Retzius-Sparing RARP (sRS-RARP) operative technique and report feasibility, safety and the preliminary oncological and continence outcomes in the post-radiation scenario.

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

Laparoscopic and Robotic Urology Surgery during Global Pandemic COVID19.

Known laparoscopic and robotic assisted approaches and techniques for the surgical management of urological malignant and benign diseases are commonly used around the World. During the global pandemic COVID19, urology surgeons had to reorganize their daily surgical practice. A concern with the use of minimally invasive techniques arose due to a proposed risk of viral transmission of the coronavirus disease with the creation of pneumoperitoneum.

Robotic-assisted surgical removal of retroperitoneal schwannoma by transmesocolic access.

Introduction:: Schwannoma are usually benign tumors, most of the cases are asymptomatic, and others may present symptoms by compression. In the literature robotic surgery were described in 8 cases. We emphasize that robotic surgery improves visualization and enable the performance of this procedure.
