Tools

The material and technological toolkit of functional and reconstructive urology — instruments on the tray, technology platforms in the operating room, biomaterials implanted into patients, and the gear the surgeon wears. Each subsection is a searchable reference organized around how these tools are actually used in practice. For intraoperative agents (ICG, FloSeal, fibrin sealants, TXA, and the rest), see Intraoperative adjuncts under Pharmacology. For other drugs, see Pharmacology.

  • InstrumentsSearchable database of ~55 individual instruments across 10 subcategories — needle holders, forceps, clamps, cautery, retractors, sounds & bougies, urethral and pelvic specialty (SSLF devices, Raz-Pereyra, Gorget), suction, graft harvest, bone instruments.
  • TechnologyRobotics platforms (da Vinci, Hugo, Versius, Senhance, Avatera, Hinotori, REVO-I, KangDuo, MicroHand S, Toumai, Dexter) and energy devices (electrosurgery, lasers, ultrasonic, vessel sealing, aquablation, morcellation).
  • BiomaterialsSearchable database of ~52 implanted devices and indwelling materials — meshes, bulking agents, grafts, prosthetics (IPP, AUS, malleable), neuromodulation devices, stents, catheters, drains, tissue engineering, and adjunct/specialty items.
  • GearSurgeon's personal equipment — optical aids (loupes, headlights), radiation protection (lead aprons, thyroid shield, leaded glasses, dosimetry), and ergonomics (shoes, compression, mats, saddle stools).
