Recurrent Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Techniques of Robotic Urinary Tract Reconstruction

Abstract

Robot-assisted laparoscopic repair of recurrent ureteropelvic junction obstruction is technically challenging. However, studies have shown that, with adherence to sound surgical principles, the success rates are promising. This chapter reviews various strategies used in these scenarios with technical tips to improve the likelihood of success.
