New method of urethravesical anastomosis during laparoscopic radical prostaectomies with V-Loc

Introduction: Watertightness of UVA is still most challenging stage of LRP. Fail to provide full watertightness may provide urinary leakage, prolonged urethral catheterization, long hospitalization and result in incontinence and/or stricture of UVA. Usually lapsurgeons use one of techniques: interrupted or continuous. Purpose: Our purpose was to evaluate benefits of new technique of UVA perfomance Material and Methods: From November 2010 till February 2012 75 patients with organ-confined prostate cancer underwent LRP. All patients were divided into 3 groups depending on type of UVA performance. 1 group - interrupted suture with monocryl 3-0, 2 group - running 2 needles technique and 3 group - running V-Loc suture. Perioperative outcomes and yearly postoperative period were compared. Results: Average time of UVA formation in 1 Group was 82 ± 15 min, in 2 Group 74 ± 13 min and 3 Group 32 ± 6 min (p
