Completely intracorporeal robotic-assisted laparoscopic augmentation enterocystoplasty with continent catheterizable channel (original) (raw)

Urology, 2014

Abstract

To report our results from series of robotic-assisted laparoscopic augmentation enterocystoplasty (RALAE) performed in a completely intracorporeal fashion. Patients who underwent RALAE with or without the creation of a catheterizable channel between 2006 and 2011 at the University of Texas, Houston and Northwestern Memorial Hospital were identified. Perioperative and follow-up data were analyzed. Preoperative and postoperative urodynamic data were analyzed when available. Twenty-two patients with neurogenic bladder underwent RALAE with or without the creation of a catheterizable channel. Fifteen patients underwent robotic augmentation enterocystoplasty alone, and 7 patients had creation of a catheterizable channel (4 Monti and 3 Mitrofanoff). There was 1 conversion to an open procedure in a patient undergoing concomitant creation of an appendicovesicostomy. Mean follow-up was 38.9 months (range, 6.2-72.1 months). Mean operative time was 365 minutes (range, 220-788 minutes); mean est...
