Strategies and Techniques for Ileourethral Approximation During Robotic Intracorporeal Neobladder Reconstruction: An International Survey and Video Collection, in Collaboration with the European Association of Urology Robotic Urology Section Scientific Working Group.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objective

The use of robotic-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with intracorporeal urinary diversion has increased rapidly in the past decade. The approximation of the ileum toward the urethral stump could be a demanding step. Whereas the techniques for reconstruction have been described in detail, a comprehensive depiction of strategies to facilitate neobladder-urethral approximation is lacking. This manuscript and video collection provide a summary of the techniques and maneuvers suggested by RARC surgeons.

Methods and surgical procedure

This is a cross-sectional study in collaboration with the European Association of Urology Robotic Urology Section (ERUS) Scientific Working Group that evaluates strategies for ileourethral approximation and anastomosis from
