Ureteric stricture rates and management after robot-assisted radical cystectomy: a single-centre observational study.

CONCLUSIONS: The overall incidence of ureteric strictures is low in patients undergoing RARC with totally intracorporeal urinary diversion. Strictures were more common on the left side, which has been described in open series and is probably related to the increased mobilization on the left side required to cross the ureter to the right side.
