The surgical treatment of distal ureteric strictures depends on their length and aetiology. Laparoscopic procedures in this setting are uncommon. We describe a laparoscopic non-refluxing ureteroneocystostomy for a symptomatic distal ureteric stricture performed on a 26-year-old man. The operation was carried out successfully without complication. Blood loss was 100 ml with an operating time of 250 min. He was discharged on the fourth day and returned to work after 11 days. Retrograde ureterography and cystography after 1 month showed no evidence of obstruction or reflux. At 3 months, an intravenous urogram showed excellent drainage and at 6 months the patient remained asymptomatic. We advocate the use of laparoscopic ureteroneocystostomy for benign distal ureteric stricture refractory to endoscopic procedures. In symptomatic patients, it is a feasible, safe, minimally invasive procedure with all the added benefits of laparoscopy compared with open repair. A non-refluxing anastomosis is preferable. Reconstructive and intracorporeal suturing skills are needed to carry out this procedure.

Objective: To review and compare robot-assisted ipsilateral ureteroureterostomy (RALUU) and laparoscopic ipsilateral uretero-ureterostomy (LUU) in terms of efficacy and outcomes.
Methods: Clinical data of 65 children with complete renal ureteral duplication deformity admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2015 to December 2022 were collected. Among these, 42 patients underwent laparoscopic ureteroureterostomy (LUU), designated as the LUU group, while 23 patients received robot-assisted laparoscopic ureteroureterostomy (RALUU), designated as the RALUU group.

Purpose: To report the occurrence of acute postrenal kidney failure caused by external ureteral obstruction after iliac venous stent placement.
Case Report: A 73-year-old male patient presented with a chronic swelling and feeling of heaviness of his right leg. The presence of venous thrombosis was excluded by duplex ultrasound (DUS).
Introduction: To evaluate the feasibility and safety of using the novel flexible vacuum-assisted ureteral access sheath (FV-UAS) in flexible ureteroscopy (F-URS) treatment of impacted non-distal ureteral stones.
Methods: We analyzed data from patients who underwent FV-UAS treatment for impacted non-distal ureteral stones between January 2022 and September 2023. Perioperative parameters were evaluated, including operative time, ureteral injury, and complications.

A 14-year-old boy developed hydronephrosis and worsening renal function due to fibroepithelial polyps of the bladder and left ureter at the age of 12 years. The endoscopic treatment of ureteral polyps was attempted by his previous doctor; however urethral stricture and ureteral stricture developed and was untreatable. Therefore, he was referred to our hospital for further reconstructive treatment.

Introduction: Open ureteroenteric reimplantation (OUER) of ureteroenteric strictures (UESs) is related to important morbidity. Robot-assisted ureteroenteric reimplantation (RUER) has been proposed to provide similar outcomes with lower morbidity. We aimed to compare perioperative and functional outcomes between RUER and OUER.
