Simplified Concepts and Management Algorithms in Hypospadias
Video 1: Induction of an artificial erection using a large-bore (21-gauge or larger) butterfly needle with injectable saline
Video 2: A dorsal inlay graft (DIG) is created
Video 3: Tubularized Incised Inlay Play (TIP repair) or simple tubularization (Thiersch Duplay) is performed
Video 4: Midline dorsal plication is performed
Video 5: Tranverse incision of tunica albuginea (DTITA) all the way to the erectile tissue, leaving intact its deepest and thinnest layer
Video 6: Once the curvature is successfully repaired, the preputial graft is applied
Video 7: Vacuum physiotherapy is initiated 3 weeks postoperatively, twice a day and with 20 induced erections each session
Video 8: In cases of proximal hypospadias, both dorsal dartos and ventral Buck’s fascia flaps can be short and underdeveloped, and tunica vaginalis is used
Video 9: Urethroplasty and excision of upper lip graft frequently utilized

Robotic-Assisted Bladder Diverticulectomy
Video 1: Intravesical Approach: Once the BD is completely removed, the opening of the bladder is sutured with 3.0 V-Lock suture in two layers in a continuous fashion.
Video 2: Extravesical Approach: The BD is fully removed and the opening of the bladder is sutured
in a running fashion.

3. Fluorescence-Guided Extended Pelvic Lymphadenectomy During Robotic Radical Prostatectomy
Video: This video details ICG-guided extended pelvic lymph node dissection during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.
4. Erectile Dysfunction, Surgical and Regenerative Therapy
Video 1: All the procedures start with accurate disinfection of the field and bladder drainage inserting a 16 Fr Foley urethral catheter.
Video 2: The skin incision represents the next step (penoscrotal approach; infrapubic approach, or subcoronal techniques).
Video 3: Corporotomy may now start.
Video 4: Thereafter, dilatators are used to create the intracorporeal space and a Furlow insertion tool is used to measure the corpora length to choose the cylinder size.
Video 5: The next step consists of the pump placement.
Video 6: The reservoir placement is an essential step during the penile prosthesis implant.
Video 7: The cylinders, pump, and reservoir are all interconnected with kink-resistant tubes, and inflation and deflation of the device is done multiple times to test the correct functioning and positioning.
