title: Totally intracorporeal robot-assisted laparoscopic reverse seven ileal ureteric reconstruction.
abstract: We describe the first reported case of completely intracorporeal robot-assisted laparoscopic reverse seven ileal ureteric reconstruction. The patient was a woman with bilateral, long segment ureteric strictures secondary to pelvic surgery and radiation. This report demonstrates that robotic reconstruction is a viable option even in a complex patient with a hostile abdomen.
