Videofragment: In this fragment, part of the robot procedure is shown in the upper part. In the lower part the cystoscopic view is presented. The nodus is removed in toto from outside of the bladder, under cystoscopic view of the inside of the bladder, enabling the surgeon to resect the nodus as precise as possible. (MP4 83495 kb)
