Robotic assisted vs. open ureteral reimplantation in adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: Ureteral reimplantation is a critical surgical procedure for restoring ureteral function, traditionally performed using open ureteral reimplantation (OUR). However, robotic-assisted ureteral reimplantation (RUR) has emerged as a minimally invasive alternative with potential perioperative advantages. To systematically compare the postoperative outcomes and efficacy of RUR and OUR in ureteral reimplantation in adults through a meta-analysis of existing studies. A comprehensive search of PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library identified studies comparing RUR and OUR in adults up to January 2025. Studies reporting at least one outcome of interest, such as complications, blood loss, hospital stay, or reintervention rates, were included. Pooled effect estimates were calculated
