BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Ileal ureter replacement (IUR) is the definitive management approach for extensive ureteral strictures (UrSs). Patients with UrS exhibit poor health-related quality of life (HRQoL). We conducted a long-term, multi-…

BACKGROUND: Ureteral reimplantation (UR) is the standard treatment for distal ureteral stricture, yet postoperative anastomotic restenosis impairs outcomes, with conventional imaging unable to quantify urinary tract obstruction and dysfunct…

BACKGROUND: Ureteral reimplantation plays a crucial role in distal ureteral reconstruction, and the integration of robotic systems has greatly enhanced minimally invasive surgical techniques. This pilot study aims to evaluate the technicall…

BACKGROUND: Spontaneous ureteral rupture is a rare and emergent urological entity, with limited literature guiding its diagnosis and management. Its non-specific presentation can lead to delayed recognition, posing risks of severe complicat…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the etiological distribution of hydronephrosis caused by upper urinary tract obstruction in adult patients and to improve the diagnostic accuracy for this condition. METHODS: The clinical information of adult pati…

BACKGROUND: Ureteral strictures (US) could lead to impaired kidney function, which was alleviated by ureteral reconstruction surgery. However, solitary kidney (SK) patients with US were more complicated to treat. This study aimed to evaluat…

INTRODUCTION: Robotic ureteral reconstruction (RUR) has been widely used to treat ureteral diseases. To summarize the surgical techniques, complications, and outcomes following RUR, as well as to compare data on RUR with open and laparoscop…

BACKGROUND: The KangDuo-Surgical Robot-01 (KD-SR-01) system is a new surgical robot recently developed in China. The aim of this study was to present our single-center experience and mid-term outcomes of urological procedures using the KD-S…

BACKGROUND: To present the experience with the surgical management of ureteral endometriosis (UE) in our single center. METHODS: To present the experience with the surgical management of ureteral endometriosis (UE) in our single center. A …

BACKGROUND: To summarize our experience with the Boari flap-psoas hitch and compare the indications, perioperative data and outcomes between open and laparoscopic procedures. METHODS: This study retrospectively reviewed 35 patients with co…

BACKGROUND: To describe our initial experience with robotic ureteral reimplantation for the management of ureterovaginal fistulas. METHODS: Between January 2018 and January 2020, four patients received robotic ureteral reimplantation for u…

Abstract Background: To present the experience of surgical management of ureteral endometriosis (UE) in our single center. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 40 cases of UE who had intraoperative surgical findings of endometriosis involvi…

PURPOSE: To describe our experience in the diagnosis and treatment of 23 patients with ureteral endometriosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed a retrospective analysis of 23 cases of ureteral endometriosis with histopathological result…

OBJECTIVE: To describe our diagnostic and therapeutic experience of patients with urinary tract endometriosis. METHODS: We performed a retrospective analysis of 22 cases of urinary tract endometriosis with histopathological results from 20…
