Is the robotic approach feasible for repair of iatrogenic injuries of the lower ureter?
Robotic approach is feasible and a safe option for distal iatrogenic ureteral injuries occurring during gynecological procedures. Prior abdominal surgery or delayed repair does not preclude a robotic approach.
The distribution of PDE isozymes in corpus cavernosum is different in human and in rabbit. This could be the biochemical basis for the differential effects of milrinone in relaxing rabbit and human corpus cavernosum. Our study emphasizes the importance of a more complete understanding of the tissue distribution of targeted proteins in an animal model before applying the results to humans.
