Robot-assisted laparoscopic distal ureterectomy and ureteral reimplantation with psoas hitch

J Endourol. 2007 Apr;21(4):368-73; discussion 372-3. doi: 10.1089/end.2007.9970.

Abstract

For midureteral and distal-ureteral tumors not amenable to endoscopic resection, distal ureterectomy with ureteral reimplantation is a treatment option. When ureteral length is insufficient for direct reimplantation, additional length can be gained with either a psoas hitch or a Boari flap. We describe our technique for robot-assisted laparoscopic distal ureterectomy and ureteral reimplantation with psoas hitch.
