We describe the first reported case of completely intracorporeal robot-assisted laparoscopic reverse seven ileal ureteric reconstruction. The patient was a woman with bilateral, long segment ureteric strictures secondary to pelvic surgery and radiation. This report demonstrates that robotic reconstruction is a viable option even in a complex patient with a hostile abdomen.

Perioperative Complications and Omission of Ureteral Stents During Robot-Assisted Radical Cystectomy With Intracorporeal Ileal Conduit.

Purpose: Ureteral stents are commonly placed intraoperatively during radical cystectomy, although their efficacy in reducing complications is unproven. We compared clinical outcomes among patients undergoing robot-assisted radical cystectomy with intracorporeal ileal conduit (RARC-IC) with or without ureteral stents to determine if omission of ureteral stents affects postoperative complications.
Materials And Methods: All RARC-IC surgeries performed at our institution between November 2017 and June 2023 were reviewed.

Renal cell carcinoma accounts for the sixth most common cancer in the United Kingdom. With the increasing application of cross-sectional imaging, the frequency of incidental renal masses has increased over time. Laparoscopic and robot-assisted partial nephrectomy has become the standard of care in the management of size and stage-appropriate renal masses.

Article Synopsis
- - The text discusses the advantages of nerve-sparing surgery for deep endometriosis, emphasizing how it can minimize pelvic organ dysfunction post-surgery through improved anatomical knowledge and surgical techniques.
- - It highlights the use of the da Vinci SP robotic system, which has advanced tools that enhance precision in complex surgeries compared to traditional single-port laparoscopic methods, though its full potential is still being explored.
- - A case study is presented involving a 47-year-old woman with chronic pelvic pain, illustrating that the technique used in the surgery mimics conventional robotic procedures, benefiting from the SP system's superior visualization and instrument maneuverability.
Outcomes after robot-assisted radical cystectomy with orthotopic neobladder in women.
World J Urol
November 2024
Department of Molecular Medicine and Surgery, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the outcomes of robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with intracorporeal orthotopic neobladder in women with bladder cancer, specifically focusing on functionality, cancer results, and complications.
- The research involved 146 female patients, revealing that about half underwent pelvic organ-preserving procedures, achieving overall daytime and nighttime continence rates of 54% and 53%.
- The findings concluded that RARC with orthotopic neobladder offers good functional outcomes, with pelvic organ preservation improving urinary continence while maintaining cancer safety.
