Robotic Urinary Diversion Ilial Conduit – Summary
Janet B. Kukreja, MD, MPH, FACS, provides a detailed overview of performing robotic-assisted ileal conduit surgery, focusing on practical techniques and strategies for effective urinary diversion.
In this 12-minute presentation, Dr. Kukreja shares a video of one of her procedures, beginning with port placement and tool selection. Using both handheld and robotic staplers, she demonstrates methods to minimize complications and ensure precision during bowel anastomosis. She discusses techniques to avoid complications, such as meticulous ureter preparation, vascular supply preservation, and strategic suture placement. The demonstration covers methods for managing the ureters, including tunneling under the sigmoid and spatulating to ensure optimal flow and reduce the risk of narrowing.
This comprehensive overview provides practical insights into optimizing robotic urinary diversion procedures, making it a valuable guide for surgeons managing complex cases requiring ileal conduits.
About The 1st International Functional and Reconstructive Urology Update (IFRUU)
The International Functional and Reconstructive Urology Update is a multi-day meeting focused on functional and reconstructive urology (FRU). FRU is a rapidly expanding subspecialty with the vision to improve the lives of all patients with urinary disorders. The IFRUU conference aims to equip practitioners with the tools to manage patients with functional urologic disorders effectively. The inaugural IFRUU conference took place from August 28-30, 2024 in Denver, Colorado.
