Abstract

Advancements in robotic surgical technology have enabled urologists to better meet the demands of minimally invasive ureteral reconstruction. A wide range of benign and malignant disease can be me managed with robotic surgery. Various applications have been described in the literature, and outcomes are generally excellent with low rates of disease recurrence and rare major complications. Herein, we describe basic techniques for robotic ureteral reconstruction as well as more detailed instruction and published outcomes for specific procedures.
