title: Robotically assisted excision of ovarian vein for intermittent ureteral obstruction.
abstract: With the increasing popularity of robotically assisted procedures, new indications for robotically assisted surgery are being examined. Although open and laparoscopic surgical management of intermittent ureteral obstruction from ovarian vein syndrome has been reported previously, we report the first use of robotic assistance for ureterolysis and ovarian vein excision.
