  • First Online:
Complications in Robotic Urologic Surgery

Abstract

This chapter aims to discuss complications associated with robotic ureteral reconstructive procedures. The chapter is outlined by first giving a general overview of common robotic ureteral reconstructive procedures performed, followed by literature review of the complications and an in-depth discussion of various complications and their management options.
