Abstract
Background and Purpose: The role of the da Vinci™ robot is slowly being defined in minimally invasive urologic surgery. We report its use in the management of ureteral stricture disease. Case Report: A 42-year-old man with recurrent kidney stone disease was found to have a left distal-ureteral stricture. After failure of endoscopic treatment, a robot-assisted laparoscopic ureteral reimplantation was performed. The total operative time was 210 minutes. The estimated blood loss was Conclusion: Pure robot-assisted laparoscopic ureteral reimplantation is a safe and feasible approach to the management of ureteral stricture disease.Keywords
