Laparoscopic ureteroureteral anastomosis effectively repaired ureteral strictures in four patients with no complications, short hospital stays, and normal follow-up imaging over 12 to 14 months.

Abstract

We describe an approach to laparoscopic ureteroureteral anastomosis for surgical management of ureteral stricture, and review four cases in which this method was used. In these four cases, we observed no intraoperative complications. Patients' length of hospital stay was 1-2 days. Follow-up ranged from 12 to 14 months. All four patients have been asymptomatic, and their follow-up intravenous pyelograms (IVPs) have been normal. This surgical approach warrants further study with larger series and long-term follow-up.
