Single-center results from the first 100 robotic ureteral reimplantation in children: analysis of learning curve effects
RALUR is a safe and effective technique for ureteral reimplantation in children, even in complex or redo cases. Surgical outcomes improved with experience, underscoring a manageable learning curve. The implementation of standardized techniques and increased surgeon expertise contributed to enhanced success rates and reduced morbidity. These findings support early integration of robotic training in pediatric urology and the broader adoption of RALUR in centers with appropriate expertise.
