VUA was completed from within the bladder using two unidirectional V-loc sutures in a continuous, semicircular manner with greater emphasis posteriorly. The most recent 20 cases of TV SP-RARP were selected to evaluate the anastomosis technique and to compare the perioperative outcomes with the first 20 cases of TV SP-RARP performed at our institution. Demographic and clinical data were collected from the prospectively maintained database and statistical analysis was performed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      VUA was effectively completed in all cases using the aforementioned technique without any suture breaks, need for conversion, or evidence of intraoperative complication, including urine leak. Marked improvement in the learning curve was observed, which translated to significant reduction in the number of VUA sutures (median: 13\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">vs<\/jats:italic>\n                      15,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.05) and faster anastomosis time (median: 19.1\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">vs<\/jats:italic>\n                      33.5 minutes,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.05). The number of anastomotic sutures did not correlate with the prostatectomy specimen weight or volume, especially with both being significantly greater in the latest cases (median weight: 45.1\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">vs<\/jats:italic>\n                      37.6\u2009g,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.05; median volume: 40.9\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">vs<\/jats:italic>\n                      36.2\u2009mL,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.05).
