Paurush Babbar, Nitin Yerram, Andrew Sun, Sij Hemal, Prithvi Murthy, Darren Bryk, Naveen Nandanan, Yaw Nyame, Maxx Caveney, Ryan Nelson, Ryan BerglundUrology Annals 2018 10(1):7-14Robotic surgery in the treatment in certain urological diseases has become a mainstay. With the increasing use of the robotic platform, some surgeries which were historically performed open have transitioned to a minimally invasive technique. Recently, the robotic approach has become more utilized for ureteral reconstruction. In this article, the authors review the surgical techniques for a number of major ureteral reconstuctive surgeries and briefly discuss the outcomes reported in the literature.
