Abstract
BACKGROUND: Endoscopic injection (EI) has been considered a minimally invasive option with high success rates. However, in clinical settings where EI has failed, and after repeat injections or worsening clinical presentation, different treatment modalities may be offered. Open ureteral reimplantation has emerged as a safe option in patients who have failed EI for VUR treatment. Currently there is limited literature describing success of complex robot-assisted laparoscopic ureteral reimplantation (RALUR) following primary EI for vesicoureteral reflux (VUR).
