Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Ileal Ureter

چکیده
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES A patient with a solitary kidney, cysteine stones, and recurrent ureteral strictures underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic ureterectomy with ileal ureter formation. METHODS Using a transperitoneal, 4-port robotic approach, we removed the strictured ureter and created an ileal ureter. The ileal-pyelo and ileal-vesical anastomoses were performed using the robotic system. An extracorporeal bowel anastomosis was performed using stapling devices. Operative time was 9 hours with negligible blood loss, and the patient was discharged after 5 days. RESULTS A cystogram at 10 days demonstrated patent anastomoses without extravasation. The patient continues to do well 48 months later. CONCLUSION Robot-assisted laparoscopic ileal ureter replacement is feasible with excellent long-term outcome.

To report our experience of pure laparoscopic and robot-assisted laparoscopic reconstructive surgery in congenital megaureter, seven patients (one bilateral) with symptomatic congenital megaureter underwent pure laparoscopic or robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery. The megaureter was exposed at the level of the blood vessel and was isolated to the bladder narrow area. Extreme ureter trim and sub...

Background: Ureter involvement within indirect hernias is a rare phenomenon usually identified incidentally during herniorrhaphy. Even more rare are extraperitoneal ureteral inguinal hernias, which represent about 20% of these cases and are characterized by a substantial amount of extraperitoneal fat in the hernia defect, the absence of a peritoneal sac, and associated with hydroureteronephrosi...

RESULTS Two male patients (53 and ...
متن کاملIntracorporeal ileal ureter replacement using laparoscopy and robotics
INTRODUCTION Ileal ureter is a suitable treatment option for patients with long ureteric strictures. Minimally invasive techniques have been shown to be as safe as open techniques but superior in terms of post-operative recovery. We report our experience using minimally invasive techniques for total intracorporeal ureteral replacement. MATERIAL AND METHODS A chart review revealed five patient...

INTRODUCTION The first laparoscopic case of ileal interposition was reported in 2000, proving the feasibility of the procedure in a minimally invasive fashion by duplicating the principles of open surgery. Robotic applications in urology are expanding worldwide, given the unique features of the robotic platform, which facilitates more advanced laparoscopic procedures. In this study, we report a...
