Laparoscopic ureterolysis with omental wrap for idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis
In this video, the authors present the case of a 58-year-old woman with a tumor identified in an adrenal topography as an incidental finding. The patient was oligosymptomatic since she presented with hypertension only. She also had undergone a robotic radical adrenalectomy using the Versius surgical robotic system (manufactured by CMR Surgical). Pathological findings revealed a massive lesion measuring 8.7 x 7.5 x 5.5cm, showing neoplasia of the adrenal cortex and suggesting a carcinoma with myxoid areas.

In this video, we present the case of a 59-year-old patient with an enlarged prostate and a protruded median lobe. The authors describe the steps and good results obtained from this challenging approach with the recent Versius surgical robotic system (manufactured by CMR surgical).

Robotic assisted radical prostatectomy in a patient with a large prostate with median lobe using the Versius robotic surgical system
Case presentation: A 62-year-old man presented to our department with a one-week history of painless macroscopic hematuria. A preoperative abdominal CT-scan revealed a 6cm solid mass in the upper right kidney, originating from the renal cortex and extending into the renal pelvis. The patient was scheduled for a laparoscopic right radical nephrectomy.
Discussion: The laparoscopic approach for kidney surgery has been well described in the literature, both for total and partial nephrectomies. The indications for the laparoscopic approach in kidney surgery has expanded to include grossly advanced tumors even with renal vein thrombosis. Several key steps are crucial for a smooth intraoperative progression and for optimal postoperative outcomes.
Conclusions: The laparoscopic approach exhibits equivalent oncological outcomes, as well as a superior postoperative morbidity profile and should be the standard approach offered to all patients, especially with early carcinomas.
