Abstract
Reconstruction of the posterior urethra following prostate cancer therapies such as radical prostatectomy or radiotherapy has traditionally been discouraged due to difficulties achieving an anastomosis, significant morbidity, including hemorrhage, rectal injury, ureteral injury and low success rates. However, there has been a growing experience of successful reconstruction of the posterior urethra using open, perineal, and abdominal perineal techniques.1 More recently the Trauma and Urologic Reconstructive Network of Surgeons reported encouraging results with the use of the robotic platform for reconstruction for vesicourethral anastomotic stenosis (VUAS) and recalcitrant bladder neck stenosis (BNS).
