    Journal: J Endourol; 2003 Dec; 17(10):891-3. PubMed ID: 14744356.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The role of the da Vinci robot is slowly being defined in minimally invasive urologic surgery. We report its use in the management of ureteral stricture disease. CASE REPORT: A 42-year-old man with recurrent kidney stone disease was found to have a left distal-ureteral stricture. After failure of endoscopic treatment, a robot-assisted laparoscopic ureteral reimplantation was performed. The total operative time was 210 minutes. The estimated blood loss was <50 mL. There were no intraoperative or postoperative complications. Total analgesic use was 30 mg of morphine. The hospital stay was 5 days. CONCLUSION: Pure robot-assisted laparoscopic ureteral reimplantation is a safe and feasible approach to the management of ureteral stricture disease.
