Robot-assisted Buccal Mucosa Graft Ureteroplasty for Ureteral Stricture: A European Multicenter Case Series.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objective

Robot-assisted buccal mucosa graft (BMG) ureteroplasty was introduced a decade ago and has since gained wide adoption within the urology community. However, available data on the outcomes of robot-assisted BMG ureteroplasty remain limited, and no large European series has been published to date. This study aims to report the outcomes of a multicenter European experience with robot-assisted BMG ureteroplasty (RBMGU) for the management of ureteral strictures.

Methods

Medical records of all the patients who underwent RBMGU for ureteral strictures at four European centers between 2018 and 2024 were reviewed retrospectively. The primary outcome was the absence of stricture recurrence at the last follow-up, defined as the lack of need for urinary drainage
