Robotic vs. open ureteral reimplantation: A retrospective comparative single-centre series.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To compare the outcomes of open versus robotic ureteral reimplantation procedures at a single centre.

Material and methods

The charts of all patients with ureteral strictures who underwent open ureteral reimplantation between 2005 and 2024, and those who underwent robotic reimplantation between 2013 and 2024, were retrospectively reviewed, and the outcomes of the two approaches were compared.

Results

Eighty patients were included in the final analysis: 45 in the open surgery group and 35 in the robotic group. After a median follow-up duration of 16,5 months for the open group and 10 months for the robotic group, the stricture recurrence rate was similar in both groups (6,8% vs. 8.6%; p = 0.99). In terms of long-term complications, there were similar rates o
