We described our multi-institutional experience with robotic ureteral reconstruction (RUR) in patients who failed prior endoscopic and/or surgical management. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed our Collaborative of Reconstructive Robotic Ureteral Surgery (CORRUS) database for all consecutive patients who underwent RUR between 05/2012—01/2020 for a recurrent ureteral stricture after having undergone a prior failed endoscopic and/or surgical repair. The method for repair was determined by the primary surgeon based on clinical history and intraoperative findings. Postoperatively, patients were assessed for surgical success defined as the absence of flank pain and obstruction on imaging. RESULTS: Overall, 105 patients met inclusion criteria (Table 1). Median stricture length was 2 (IQR 1-3) centimeters. Strictures were located at the ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) (41.0%), proximal (14.3%), middle (9.5%) or distal (35.2%) ureter. There were 9 (8.6%) radiation-induced strictures. Prior failed management included endoscopic intervention (49.5%), surgical repair (25.7%) or both (24.8%). Overall median operative time was 187.5 (IQR 143.8-279.3) minutes and estimated blood loss was 50 (IQR 40-100) milliliters. RUR techniques included ureteroureterostomy (3.4%), ureterocalycostomy (5.2%), pyeloplasty (69.0%) or buccal mucosa graft ureteroplasty (22.4%) for UPJ and proximal strictures; ureteroureterostomy (20.0%) or buccal mucosa graft ureteroplasty (80.0%) for middle strictures; ureteroureterostomy (8.1%), side-to-side reimplant (18.9%), end-to-end reimplant (70.3%) or appendiceal bypass (2.7%) for distal strictures. Adjunctive techniques such as a downward nephropexy, psoas hitch or Boari flap were utilized in 7 (6.7%), 10 (9.5%) and 8 (7.6%) cases, respectively. Major (Clavien>2) postoperative complications occurred in 2 (1.9%) patients. At a median follow-up of 15.1 (IQR 5.0-30.4) months, 95 (90.5%) cases were surgically successful. CONCLUSIONS: RUR may be performed with excellent intermediate-term outcomes for patients with recurrent strictures after prior failed endoscopic and/or surgical management.
