Iatrogenic ureteral injuries and strictures are relatively common complication of pelvic
surgery and radiation treatment. Left untreated they are associated with severe short-and …

In the past 10 years, laparoscopy has been challenged by robotic surgery; nevertheless,
laparoscopic techniques are subject to continuous change. Ultrahigh definition is the next …

Background Minimally invasive treatment of benign ureteral strictures is still challenging
because of its technical complexity. In this context, robot-assisted surgery may overcome the …

We present preliminary results of a case series on refractory bladder neck contracture (BNC)
treated with robot-assisted laparoscopic YV plasty (RAYV). Between 01/2013 and 02/2016 …

What's known on the subject? and What does the study add? Open reconstructive surgery of
the lower ureteric segment in adults often requires large incisions, as the basic prerequisite …

Ureteral stricture disease is a luminal narrowing of the ureter leading to functional
obstruction of the kidney. Treatment of strictures is mandatory to preserve and protect renal …

Objectives To present small-incision access retroperitoneoscopic technique pyeloplasty
(SMARTp), a novel mini-laparoscopic approach for management of uretero-pelvic junction …

Purpose: The objective of this randomized in-vitro study was to compare the suturation time,
integrity, and quality of the bladder closure in fresh cadaver pig bladders performed with …

Materials and Methods: A chart review was performed of all cases of Robot-assisted
laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) and conventional laparoscopic pyeloplasty (CLP) …

Purpose To demonstrate our technical approach for robot-assisted ureteroneocystostomy (R-
UNC) for benign and malignant distal ureteral pathologies. Materials and Methods Between …
