Impact of race and ethnicity on clinical outcomes and recurrence post‐ureteral reconstruction
This study highlights that although recurrence and complication rates do not significantly differ by race or ethnicity, disparities exist in clinical presentations, with non-White and Hispanic patients presenting with longer stricture lengths and higher body mass index. These findings underscore the need for targeted interventions to address underlying disparities in healthcare delivery and access.
