Robotic ureteral reconstruction for endometriosis-induced strictures: insights from a multi-institutional experience

1

Ureteral involvement in endometriosis occurs in approximately 1% of women and can lead to significant complications.
2

Robotic ureteral reconstruction (RUR) is a viable surgical option for managing complex endometriosis-induced ureteral strictures.
3

In a multi-institutional study, RUR achieved a surgical success rate of 94.7% at a median follow-up of 22.5 months.
4

The majority of strictures in the study were located in the distal ureter, with various RUR techniques employed based on individual cases.
5

Postoperative complications were minimal, with only one major complication reported among the 19 patients undergoing RUR.
