Suprapubic endoscopic surgery offers a viable alternative when transurethral access is challenging or risks urethral damage. This study modified percutaneous renal access techniques for bladder entry, developing a specialized cannula.

Area of Science:

Urology
Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

Transurethral procedures can be difficult or cause urethral damage.
Need for alternative bladder access methods in specific urological cases.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate suprapubic endoscopic surgery as an alternative to transurethral access.
To adapt percutaneous renal access techniques for bladder entry.

Main Methods:

Modified percutaneous renal access techniques were applied to create a bladder track.
A specialized access cannula (St Peter's Hospital cannula) was developed.
The technique was tested in clinical cases and experimental studies.

Main Results:

The modified technique proved feasible for bladder access.

Related Experiment Videos

The St Peter's Hospital cannula facilitated the procedure.

Assessment allowed for technique modification.

Conclusions:

Suprapubic endoscopic surgery is a useful approach for bladder access when transurethral routes are compromised.
The developed technique and cannula offer a safe and effective alternative.
