Combined robotic and open approach to excision of accessory bladder and urethral triplication
Management of urethral and bladder duplication anomalies centers on prevention of recurrent infections and preservation of renal function. We present a surgical approach to urethral triplication and bladder duplication utilizing a combined robotic and open approach.Robotic-assisted laparoscopic transplant-to-native ureteroureterostomy in a pediatric patient
Management of late-occurring or long (>3 cm) post-transplant ureteral strictures usually requires open surgery, which includes ureteroureterostomy (UU) as an option. Recently, robotic-assisted laparoscopic UU for ectopic ureters in a duplicated system has been described. We report a case of a robotic-assisted laparoscopic transplant-to-native side-to-side UU in a 14-year-old girl with a stricture of nearly two-thirds of her transplant ureter 5 years after a cadaveric renal transplant.
