Robot-assisted ureteral reconstruction - current status and future directions
Abstract
Robotic surgery in the treatment in certain urological diseases has become a mainstay. With the increasing use of the robotic platform, some surgeries which were historically performed open have transitioned to a minimally invasive technique. Recently, the robotic approach has become more utilized for ureteral reconstruction. In this article, the authors review the surgical techniques for a number of major ureteral reconstuctive surgeries and briefly discuss the outcomes reported in the literature.
Keywords: Robotic surgery; robotic ureteral reconstruction; robotics; ureteral injury; ureteral reconstruction.
