Urethrovesical anastomosis.

Modification	Primary author	Results
Posterior reconstruction	Rocco [19, 86]	Posterior reconstruction in RRP was associated with improved time to return to continence.
	Coelho [87]	Posterior reconstruction in RALP had faster return of continence and fewer anastomotic leaks.
Anterior reconstruction	Campenni [20]	Anterior anastomotic urethral suspension sutures increase Valsalva LLP and may speed the return of continence.
	Patel [21]	Suspension stitch in RALP leads to improved continence at 3 months.
Double layer anastomosis	Menon [22]	No improvement in continence was seen with reconstruction.
	Sammon [23]	Single or double layer anastomosis did not correlate to urinary outcomes at 2 years.
	Joshi [25]	Posterior reconstruction did not improve continence after RALP.
	Sutherland [24]	Posterior reconstruction did not increase early return of continence after RALP.
	Hurtes [88]	Early return of continence after RALP was improved with anterior suspension combined with posterior reconstruction.
Barbed suture	Sammon [26]	RALP using v-lock suture showed a decrease in anastomotic time without change in outcomes.
