MINIMALLY INVASIVE ROBOTIC RECONSTRUCTIVE UROLOGY
Minimally invasive robotic surgery for ureteral strictures, UPJ obstruction, and radiation scarring, with the goal of freeing patients from long-term stents.
THE BURDEN OF CHRONIC STENTS
Indwelling Stent Complications
Long-term stents can cause flank pain, spasms, blood in the urine, and crusting that needs regular exchanges. A stent is a bridge, not a fix.

DA VINCI ROBOTIC PRECISION
Robotic BMG Ureteroplasty
Robotic magnification and near-infrared (ICG) imaging help assess blood supply to the ureter, and a buccal mucosa graft can rebuild longer strictures.

KIDNEY OUTFLOW RESTORATION
Robotic Dismembered Pyeloplasty
For congenital or acquired UPJ obstruction, precisely resecting the aperistaltic scarred junction and re-fashioning the renal pelvis restores unobstructed drainage.

Upper Tract Conditions & Minimally Invasive Surgeries
Mid & Proximal Ureter
Ureteral Stricture Disease
Scarring from stone procedures, trauma, or radiation. Repaired robotically without large open incisions.

Kidney-Ureter Junction
UPJ Obstruction
Flank pain and kidney swelling from narrowing where the kidney meets the ureter. Treated with robotic pyeloplasty.

Hospital Outpatient / 1 Night
Robotic Ureteroplasty & Reimplantation
Robotic reconstruction that protects kidney function and aims to remove the need for a stent.

Do I have to live with a stent?
Often not. Repairing the narrowing can remove the need for long-term stents and regular stent changes.
What does robotic surgery involve?
A few small incisions on the belly and usually one night in the hospital.
Will I have a stent after surgery?
Yes, a temporary one, usually for about 4 to 6 weeks, removed in the office.
Will my kidney recover?
That depends on how much it was affected before repair. The goal is to protect the function you have. A kidney scan measures it before and after.
What records should I bring?
CT scans or CT urograms, kidney scans (renograms), and notes from any prior scopes, stents, or surgery.
