Posterior Bladder Neck Reconstruction

Reconstruction of the bladder neck during a radical prostatectomy is demonstrated here by Dr. David Samadi. He suggests leaving a long urethral stump because it helps prostate cancer patients maintain urinary continence after prostate surgery. Dr. Samadi also believes the posterior bladder neck reconstruction using the da Vinci robotic system also helps preserve post-surgical continence in men who’ve had their prostate glands removed.
