Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Distal Ureteral Surgery

چکیده
BACKGROUND The use of robotic assistance in adult genitourinary surgery has been successful in many operations, leading surgeons to test its use in other applications as well. METHODS Based on our use during prostatectomy, we have applied robotic surgery to complex distal ureteral surgeries since 2004 with successful outcomes. RESULTS A series of 11 patients who underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic distal ureteral surgery is presented. These surgeries include distal ureterectomy for ureteral cancer with reimplantation, as well as reimplantation with and without Boari flap or psoas hitch for benign conditions. CONCLUSIONS Robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery can be successfully applied to patients requiring distal ureteral surgery. Maintenance of the principles of open surgery is paramount.

Robot-assisted laparoscopic distal ureterectomy and ureteral reimplantation with psoas hitch.
For midureteral and distal-ureteral tumors not amenable to endoscopic resection, distal ureterectomy with ureteral reimplantation is a treatment option. When ureteral length is insufficient for direct reimplantation, additional length can be gained with either a psoas hitch or a Boari flap. We describe our technique for robot-assisted laparoscopic distal ureterectomy and ureteral reimplantation...
متن کاملA novel “no-touch” robot-assisted laparoscopic technique facilitates ureteral reconstructive surgery.
Objectives: One of the current limitations of robotic surgery is the lack of haptic feedback. In order to overcome this drawback we developed a “No-Touch” (NT) technique utilizing the distal portion of a feeding tube to intubate and manipulate both the ureter and the renal pelvis during anastomosis. Materials and Methods: Ureteral spatulation and pelvic reduction were performed as necessary. An...
متن کاملLessons learned over a decade of pediatric robotic ureteral reimplantation
The da Vinci robotic system has improved surgeon dexterity, ergonomics, and visualization to allow for a minimally invasive option for complex reconstructive procedures in children. Over the past decade, robot-assisted laparoscopic ureteral reimplantation (RALUR) has become a viable minimally invasive surgical option for pediatric vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). However, higher-than-expected compl...

Spleen-preservation has recently been emphasized in benign and borderline malignant pancreatic diseases requiring distal pancreatectomy. Reports to suggest that laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy is feasible and safe have been increasingly published. Robotic surgical system has been introduced and is expected to provide unique advantages in laparoscopic surgery. However, robot-assisted pancreat...
متن کاملModified laparoscopic intravesical nonrefluxing ureteral reimplantation with psoas hitch using a submucosal tunneling
We aimed to study the safety and efficacy of the cystoscopy-assisted nonrefluxing ureteral reimplantation technique using submucosal tunneling during laparoscopic ureteroneocystostomy (UNC) with a psoas hitch in patients with distal ureter stricture after gynecologic surgery. We reviewed six female patients who underwent gynecological surgeries. All patients showed persistent postoperative dist...
