Prostate is a male gland needed for reproductive functions, it produces fluid used for sperm transport for the purpose of ejaculation. Prostate can grow slowly and affect urinary tract causing problems, this affects many men and the risk gets increased with age. Prostate enlargement also causes bladder problems and related complications.
Title: Anatomic Retro-apical Technique for the reduction of positive margins during robotic prostate cancer surgery. American Urological Association Best Video for 2010. To describe a novel synchronous approach to apical dissection during robotic assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) which augments circumferential visual appreciation of the prostatic apex and membranous urethra anatomy, and assess its effect on apical margin positivity. www.nycrobotics.com email ash.k.tewari@gmail.com Dr. Ash Tewari is a professor of urology at Weill Cornell Medical College.

Relieve prostate pain. The prostate is a walnut-sized gland located between the bladder and the penis, directly in front of the rectum. The urethra runs through the center of the prostate, from the bladder to the penis, letting urine flow out of the body. The prostate secretes fluid that nourishes and protects sperm. During ejaculation, the prostate squeezes this fluid into the urethra, and it’s expelled with sperm as semen. Many men over 40 suffer from inflammation of the prostate which can lead to pain, as well as permanent damage and extreme discomfort. An enlarged prostate is often called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or benign prostatic hypertrophy. Prostate enlargement happens to almost all men as they get older. As the gland grows, it can press on the urethra and cause urination and bladder problems.

For more information about prostate cancer treatment and robotic prostatectomy, visit my homepage: www.nycrobotics.com Abstract Background and Purpose Creation of an optimally apposed, tension-free, well-supported vesicourethral anastomosis remains the cornerstone for anastomotic healing after radical prostatectomy. We report the effect of three techniques of bladder neck reconstruction during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy on anastomotic leak, stricture formation, and continence recovery. Patients and Methods: Between January 2005 to September 2009, 1900 consecutive patients underwent robotic assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) by a single surgeon. Of these, the first 214 underwent vesicourethral conventional anastomosis (CA); the next 303 men underwent anterior reconstruction (AR) only; and last 1383 men underwent total anatomic restoration (TR). Data elements included patient age, body mass index, preoperative biopsy Gleason score and prostate-specific antigen level, prostate volume, total operative time, console time, time for performing vesicourethral anastomosis, estimated blood loss, tumor stage, and margin status on final pathologic findings. Primary end points were rates of clinically significant anastomotic leaks, bladder neck contractures, and time to return of continence. Chi-square and Fisher exact tests were used for analysis of categorical variables. The Cox proportional hazard model was used for both univariate and multivariate analysis …
