Robot-assisted laparoscopic ipsilateral ureteroureterostomy for injury of an ectopic duplicated ureter following robotic prostatectomy

Robot-assisted ipsilateral ureteroureterostomy in a duplex system utilizing intraoperative flexible ureteroscopy

Iatrogenic injury to the ureter during pelvic surgery is an uncommon but well-documented complication. Accurate identification of the ureter during pelvic surgery is made far more complex in the presence of a duplex or ectopic system, an anomaly occurring in up to 2% of the population. In this article we present a technique for robot-assisted ipsilateral ureteroureterostomy for treatment of iatrogenic injury of a lower pole moiety ureter in a complete duplex system.

Robotic Assisted Common Sheath Ureteroneocystostomy of an Injured Ectopic Ureter Diagnosed in the Acute Post-operative Setting after Robotic Assisted Radical Prostatectomy

Radical prostatectomies are one of the most commonly performed operations for the robotic urologist. When a rare anatomic anomaly leads to an unrecognized intraoperative injury, standard postoperative management becomes complicated. We present the case of a patient with an iatrogenic injury to an ectopic ureter that under went a robotic assisted common sheath ureteroneocystostomy three days post robotic assisted radical prostatectomy.
