We present our technique for robotic-assisted laparoscopic ureteroureterostomy for obstructing retrocaval ureters. METHODS Pre-operative imaging, patient selection, patient positioning, port placement, intra-operative dissection, retrocaval ureter excision and repair are all demonstrated in this video. Special attention is given to robotic docking technique for this complex dissection and reconstruction. RESULTS Tips presented in this video may aid in successful completion of robotic ureteroureterostomy for an obstructing retrocaval ureter. CONCLUSIONS Tips presented in this video may aid in successful completion of robotic ureteroureterostomy for obstructing retrocaval ureter. © 2011 by American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Volume 185Issue 4SApril 2011Page: e203 Advertisement Copyright & Permissions© 2011 by American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.MetricsAuthor Information Tim Leroy Jacksonville, FL More articles by this author David Thiel Jacksonville, FL More articles by this author Todd Igel Jacksonville, FL More articles by this author Expand All Advertisement Advertisement PDF downloadLoading ...
