Robot-assisted laparoscopic midureteral stricture repair and percutaneous stent placement in an infant.
Mid-ureteral strictures in infants are a rare cause of hydronephrosis. In this surgical technique video we demonstrate a repair of a mid-ureteral stricture using a robot- assisted laparoscopic approach to mobilize and excise the stricture using the assistance of a hitch stitch as well as placement of a percutaneous stent. This technique was easily performed and successful for this patient.
