Robotic Pyeloplasty: Step by Step Surgical Technique

Symptoms and signs in adults might include recurrent flank pain, urinary tract infections and pyelonephritis that require surgical correction. Due to the European Association of Urology (EAU) Guidelines, indications for surgical treatment include impaired split renal function of less than 40%, a decrease of split renal function of more than 10% in subsequent studies, increased antero-posterior ...

Laparoscopic ureteral reimplant for ureteral stricture.

PURPOSE Evaluate the initial experience of laparoscopic ureteral reimplant for ureteral stenosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS From January 2004 to June 2008, 10 patients underwent 11 laparoscopic reconstruction surgeries for ureteral stenosis. Seven cases of stenosis of the distal ureter, two at the level of iliac vessels, a case of bilateral distal stenosis and one in the medium third. Eight urete...

Laparoscopic Ureteral Reimplant for Distal Ureteral Strictures

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The incidence of ureteral injuries is on the rise. Endoscopic treatment of long distal ureteral strictures is associated with poor success rates, and open ureteral reimplantation is a potentially morbid surgical procedure. The objective of this study was to review our early results with laparoscopic ureteral reimplantation. METHODS Between May 2004 and February 2007,...
