Prostatectomy - Procedural ENDOEYE FLEX™ 3D and THUNDERBEAT™ devices
Advantages of using the ENDOEYE FLEX™ 3D device in Prostatectomy:
- Facilitated orientation for safe peeling of the fascia from the prostate
- 3D visualization of the needle at the point of entry facilitates faster suturing
- 100 degree angulation in any direction allows for fewer incisions around the prostate, and depth perception that assists in clear identification of the dissection line
- The spatial view assists with neurovascular bundle sparing
Advantages of using the THUNDERBEAT™ device in Prostatectomy:
- The Seal & Cut feature provides a quick removal of the prostate
- Prevention of posterior bladder injury due to less bleeding & better vision
- Controlled preparation of all vessels around the prostate
- Good hemostatic ability is highly beneficial during separation of seminal vesicles from the rectum
- Fine tip allows precise incision of the fascia surrounding the prostate gland
Incision of the fascia surrounding the prostate gland
The ENDOEYE FLEX™ 3D device depth perception allows for a better-quality angle of engagement, leading to more precise and safer peeling of the fascia from the prostate.
The THUNDERBEAT™ device creates less mist, which allows for increased visibility. It allows for a quick and safe release of the prostate due to simultaneous sealing and cutting, which enables controlled preparation of all vessels in this region.
Ligation of Dorsal Vein Complex
The flexible tip of the endoscope provides a front or side view without instrument confliction and this helps urologists identify the plane between the urethra and dorsal vein complex. It helps to prevent injury to the DVC and urethra during ligation. In addition, the ENDOEYE FLEX™ 3D device visualization helps in predicting the needle’s point of entry and delivery, which allows for safer and faster suturing.
Bladder Neck Transection
When transecting the bladder neck, the fully flexible endoscope supports urologists in determining the dissection line. The ENDOEYE FLEX™ 3D device provides better orientation and depth perception to minimize the risk of large bladder holes or prostate incisions.
The THUNDERBEAT™ device facilitates reduced risk of bladder neck injury. Sealing & Cutting at the same time leads to less bleeding and ensures better vision at the posterior bladder neck; therefore, the risk of going into the bladder is reduced.
Incision of Denonviellers Fascia and Separation of Seminal Vesicles
The ENDOEYE FLEX™ 3D device visualization enables a controlled incision of the Denonvilliers fascia. The flexible scope helps to observe the tip of the instruments and avoids damaging the rectum. With the THUNDERBEAT™’s fine tip Denovilliers fascia can be opened precisely. The THUNDERBEAT™’s Seal & Cut provides a controlled and secure separation of the seminal vesicles and vas deference.
Neurovascular Bundle Sparing
Apical dissection, which tends to be behind the prostate, can be observed from the front creating the spatial view with the articulating videoscope. The ENDOEYE FLEX™ 3D device reduces the risk of injury of the NVB because of the enhanced depth perception.
Anastomosis of Urethra and Bladder
The flexible tip of the endoscope provides a side view, allowing for anastomosis to be performed without instrument confliction, since pelvic space is limited. In addition, 3D visualization allows for significant suturing, which time savings.
