Abstract

Urethrovesical anastomosis is the most codified step in radical prostatectomy. Most of the time, the bladder neck diameter makes it possible to carry out a congruent anastomosis. Otherwise one has to resort either to the tennis racket closure or the parachute technique. Stenosis will remain an exceptional complication if the technique is applied with strictness and precision.
