Davinci Single port robotic surgeon.
brief video of creating the right side of the "hood" during a radical prostatectomy. I isolate the pedicles for ligation from base to apex. Endopelvic fascia is spared. I can adjust how much prostatic fascia (nerves) to spare.

This video illustrates my technique for developing the right portion of the hood during my nerve sparing and as a way to isolate the pedicles.

Open simple prostatectomy for BPH with a large bladder stone. Our county hospital is missing some equipment required for cystoscopic enucleation and we don’t have a robot, so the residents get to do it old school. Took out a nice classic looking jackstone. Good hemostasis at the end! #urology

Not all barbed sutures are created equal.

Here is a stratafix spiral loosening during a vesicourethral anastomosis. Stratafix symmetric would keep it close, but the barbs are extremely aggressive.

Important to either do a good Rocco or posterior urethral plate sutures. Need to keep tension!
