Robotic ureteral reconstruction of non-absorbable clip erosion into the ureter: a case series.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Delayed migration of non-absorbable surgical clips into the urinary tract is a rare but potentially morbid complication that may lead to pain, infection, stone formation, and urinary obstruction. The literature on clip erosion into the upper tracts are limited to a handful of case reports of case reports. The purpose of our study was to review outcomes of robotic ureteral reconstruction (RUR) of non-absorbable clip erosion into the ureter.

Case description

We retrospectively reviewed all patients who underwent RUR for management of clip erosion into the ureter between September 2022-April 2024 at our tertiary academic center. Indication for surgery was ureteral obstruction. Six patients underwent RUR for clip erosion into the ureter. All patients had non-absorbabl
