V7-06 pediatric robotic-assisted laparoscopic appendicovesicostomy revision

Robotic surgery for reconstructive pediatric urology is an emerging technique, and robotic-assisted Mitrofanoff appendicovesicostomy is associated with relatively high stomal continence rates. However, some children experience incontinence, which may be related to inadequate support and resistance at the anastomosis of the appendix to the bladder. While endoscopic injection is often recommended first, some patients require surgical revision. We demonstrate our approach to surgical revision of a Mitrofanoff appendicovesicostomy in a pediatric patient.
