Step-by-step robot assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP): bladder drop

In this video, I will give an overview of how I perform the bladder drop, the first step of a robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. I will also briefly touch upon the incision of the endopelvic fascia.

 

Surgery is performed with the Da Vinci Xi robotic system. Instruments used for this part: monopolar curved scissors, Maryland bipolar forceps, and Prograsp.

Step-by-step robot assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP): bladder neck dissection.

In this video, I will discuss what I believe is the easiest technique to perform a nice bladder neck dissection.

 

Surgery is performed with the Da Vinci Xi robotic system. Instruments used for this part: monopolar curved scissors, Maryland bipolar forceps, and Prograsp.

Step-by-step robot assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP): Seminal vesicles dissecton

In this video, we will have a look at the seminal vesicle dissection. Surgery is performed with the Da Vinci Xi robotic system.

 

Instruments used for this part: monopolar curved scissors, Maryland bipolar forceps, and Prograsp.​

Step-by-step robot assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP): Nerve sparing procedure

In this video, we will have a look at the nerve sparing procedure during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy Surgery is performed with the Da Vinci Xi robotic system.

 

Instruments used for this part: monopolar curved scissors, Maryland bipolar forceps, and Prograsp.

Step-by-step robot assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP): anastomosis

In this video, we will have a look at the dissection of the dorsal venous complex, urethral stump and construction of the vesico-urethral anastomosis during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.

Instruments used for this part: monopolar curved scissors, Maryland bipolar forceps, and Prograsp.

Step-by-step robot assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP): Median lobe

In this video, we will have a look at the dissection of the bladder neck when confronted with a patient with a median lobe. Surgery is performed with the Da Vinci Xi robotic system.

 

Instruments used for this part: Monopolar curved scissors, Maryland bipolar forceps, and Prograsp.

Step-by-step robot assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP): bladder neck reconstruction after TURP or HoLEP

In this video, I will discuss how to handle the bladder neck after previous desobstructive surgery. Both the dissection and the reconstruction will be discussed. Surgery is performed with the Da Vinci Xi robotic system.

 

Instruments used for this part: monopolar curved scissors, Maryland bipolar forceps, needle driver and Prograsp.
