Robot-assisted laparoscopic cystectomy with non-continent urinary diversion for neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction: Midterm outcomes.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess midterm functional outcomes and complications of robot-assisted laparoscopic cystectomy with non-continent urinary diversion in patients with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction.

Materials And Methods: We performed a retrospective single center study including all patients who underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic cystectomy with non-continent urinary diversion between January 2008 and December 2018 for neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction. Perioperative data, early and late complications, reoperation rate, renal function, and patient satisfaction (PGI-I) were evaluated.

New technique of robot-assisted laparoscopic artificial urinary sphincter implantation in female by a posterior approach with intraoperative cystoscopic monitoring.

Purpose: To report the early experience of a modified technique of robot-assisted artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) implantation in female, with a posterior approach to the bladder neck and intraoperative real-time cystoscopic monitoring.

Methods: Retrospective monocentric study included all consecutive female who underwent a primary robot-assisted AUS implantation between 2017 and 2019. Real-time intraoperative cystoscopic monitoring was carried out to check the correct level of the dissection and to avoid any injury during bladder neck dissection.

Right Kidney Mini-Invasive Living Donor Nephrectomy: A Safe and Efficient Alternative.

Introduction: Right kidney living donor transplantation is considered more difficult and associated with more complications. The objective was to evaluate donor safety and graft function of right hand-assisted laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (HALDN).

Methods: A total of 270 consecutive HALDN procedures have been performed in our institution up to April 2017.

Living-donor kidney transplantation: comparison of sequential and simultaneous surgical organizations.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to compare living-donor kidney transplantation (LDKT) performed either sequentially, in one operating room, leading to extended cold ischemia time (CIT) or simultaneously, in two different operating room, with shorter CIT.

Methods: We retrospectively included all living-donor nephrectomies and kidney transplantations, performed from March 2010 to March 2014, in three French university centers. In the first one (C1), LDKTs were performed in sequential manner (Sequential group) and in C2 and C3, LDKTs were performed in simultaneous manner (Simultaneous group).

Feasibility and safety of laparoscopic living donor nephrectomy in case of right kidney and multiple-renal artery kidney: a systematic review of the literature.

Purpose: To access the current status of the security and feasibility of right kidney (RK) and multiple-renal artery (MRA) laparoscopic living donor nephrectomy (LLDN) which are more challenging compared to left kidney (LK) and single renal artery (SRA) because of a shorter renal vein and more complex vascular anatomy.

Methods: We did a systematic review of the literature according to the PRISMA recommendations, reporting RK or MRA donor nephrectomy performed with a laparoscopic technique compared to LK or SRA kidney LLDN. The identified and analyzed primary outcomes of interest were operating time (OT), warm ischemia time (WIT), rate of conversion and transfusion, donor length of stay (LOS), delayed graft function (DGF) and rate of graft loss (GL).
