Background

The treatment of bilateral long segment ureteral strictures is challenging. Minimally invasive bilateral ileal ureter replacement has been presented with limited experience. This study presents the results of the largest known sample size of minimally invasive bilateral ileal ureter replacement as well as the very first experience of minimally invasive bilateral ileal ureter replacement.
