Enhancing surgical outcomes in ureteral stricture treatment: a combined approach using flexible ureteroscopy and laparoscopy

The integrated flexible ureteroscopy-laparoscopy approach enhances surgical precision and efficiency for upper ureteral strictures, mitigating positioning limitations and reducing iatrogenic injury. While initial outcomes demonstrate safety and efficacy, long-term follow-up and prospective multicenter trials are warranted to validate durability. This technique represents a promising advancement in minimally invasive ureteral reconstruction.
