About this video:
Laparoscopic, sampling of the pelvic (obturator) lymph nodes to determine whether there has been spread of the tumour, prior to removal of the prostate gland for cancer.

About this video:
Robot-assisted surgery allows accurate placement of sutures to join the bladder back to the urethra after removal of the prostate. A catheter (visible at times in the video) is inserted across the join when it is complete.
