Surgical Anastomosis Articles

PURPOSE - To compare perioperative outcomes between running and interrupted vesicourethral anastomosis in open radical prostatectomy (RP).

To assess the outcomes of patients following a first-line systematic endo-urological procedure used to treat ureteroenteric anastomotic strictures (UEAS).

All data from patients treated using a first-line endourological approach for UEAS between 2010 and 2015 were reviewed retrospectively.

Whereas the literature has demonstrated an acceptable safety profile of stapled anastomoses when compared to the hand-sewn alternative in open surgery, the choice of intestinal anastomosis using sutures or staples remains inadequately investigated in robotic surgery.
