Excerpt

Buccal mucosal grafts (BMG) are traditionally used in urethral reconstruction [1]. There may be insufficient BMG for applications requiring large grafts, such as urethral stricture after gender-affirming phalloplasty. If rectal mucosa is used, there is less postoperative pain, no oral impairment, and grafts can be larger [2, 3]. Laparoscopic transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS) has been described for many applications [4]. Due to technical challenges of harvesting a sizable graft within the lumen, we adopted a new robotic approach, which has been shown to be safe and feasible. To our knowledge, this is the first use of robotic TAMIS (R-TAMIS) for rectal mucosa harvest. …
