Abstract
ObjectiveHistorical review of the procedures and maneuvers described in the literature for the performance of vesicourethral anastomosis (VUA) after retropubic prostatectomy. Material and methodReview of the main original articles on the design of VUA maneuvers. ResultsVarious techniques have been described to facilitate VUA, the most common being those with soft or hard catheters, or endoscopes. ConclusionThere is no perfect technique for the performance of VUA after retropubic prostatectomy. Since it does not require specific instrumentation, the Gil-Vernet maneuver may be the technique through which a longer urethral segment is transferred inside the abdomen and the easiest to perform.
