Total intracorporeal robotic renal auto-transplantation: A new minimally invasive approach to preserve the kidney after major ureteral injuries

摘要

BackgroundRenal auto-transplantation is a suitable option for managing patients with major ureteric injury. Conventional Renal auto-transplantation is however, underutilized because of its invasiveness. Completely intra-corporeal robotic renal auto-transplantation is a suitable option to decrease the morbidity. In this case, we report the first use of total intra-corporeal robotic renal auto-transplantation outside of North America.
