Robotic platform rebuilds bladder neck and repairs rectal fistula in single prostatectomy complication case
Overview
A Da Vinci system assisted surgeons to reconstruct a new bladder neck and close a vesicorectal fistula in one patient. One year later, the patient showed normal urination, continence, and no recurrence of complications. This single-case report published in BMC Urology indicates feasibility but does not establish general success rates or long-term durability.

“Surgeons in China have reported a single-case operation in which a robotic platform was used to rebuild a patient’s bladder neck and close an abnormal connection between the bladder and rectum at the same time. The 59-year-old man had developed both problems after radical prostatectomy. One year after the combined repair, he was passing urine normally, was continent, and had a measured peak urine flow of 24.5 millili”

“voided normally and maintained urinary continence, with a Qmax of 24.5 millilitres per second, a value within the range expected for unobstructed urination. No recurrence of the stricture or the fistula was documented, and no complications were reported. The authors conclude that robot-assisted transabdominal bladder neck reconstruction combined with vesicorectal fistula repair is a feasible and effective minimally”
