Robotic ureteral reimplantation: systematic review and pooled analysis of comparative outcomes in adults.

Journal: Minerva urology and nephrology
Published Date: Apr 1, 2022

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The surgical treatment of ureteral strictures in adults represents a challenging procedure for the variability of location, extension, and etiology of the disease. Open ureteral reimplantation (OUR) offered high success rates even when considering complex ureteral disease. The debate for defining the role of robotic in the treatment of adult ureteral disease is still ongoing. The aim of the current systematic review is to provide an updated analysis of the comparative outcomes of robot-assisted UR (RAUR) versus OUR based on the available literature.
