Robotic ileal ureter replacement vs kidney autotransplantation for long ureteric strictures
In the first comparative analysis of RAIUR and RAKAT, we provide evidence that both techniques provide similar improvements in renal function and similar rates of postoperative high-grade complications. Both approaches represent definitive solutions for ureteric strictures in most patients. The choice of the technique should be based on patients' factors, patients' expectations and the surgeon's experience.
