Creation of a Boari flap is an option for ureteral reimplantation with high transection or stricture of the ureter. The benefits of laparoscopic surgery include decreased blood loss, quicker recovery time, and improved cosmesis. Robot-assisted surgery offers intraoperative advantages, including three-dimensional visualization with magnification and wristed movements with additional degrees of freedom. A 75-year-old woman with a persistent ureteral stricture opted for robot-assisted surgery for definitive management. To optimize the repair with least tension, creation of a Boari flap was chosen intraoperatively. Surgery and recovery were uncomplicated. Robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery can be safely used for Boari flap ureteral reimplantation.

Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility of robot-assisted ureteral reconstruction as a minimally invasive alternative to open surgery for managing ureteric complications in transplanted kidneys.
Materials And Methods: From January 2020 to December 2023, robot-assisted ureteral reconstruction was performed on fifteen kidney transplant patients with vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) or ureteral stricture who had previously failed endoscopic treatments.
Results: Twelve females and three males, with a mean age of 48.

Article Synopsis
- Robot-assisted laparoscopic techniques have significantly improved the minimally invasive treatment of ureteral strictures, providing a range of surgical options.
- These robotic methods offer better functional outcomes, fewer complications, and quicker recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
- Further long-term studies are needed to confirm the positive results reported in current case series about robotic ureteral stricture correction.
Reconstruction of the Ureter Using the Boari Flap and Psoas Hitch Techniques in a Patient With Damage to the Proximal Part of the Ureter: A Case Report.

Although the Boari flap technique is commonly described in the literature as a method for primarily distal and middle ureteral injuries, it can also be used for reconstructing the proximal segment of the ureter. In this case study, we present a patient who underwent gynecological surgery with subsequent damage to the proximal ureter, and who underwent ureteral reconstruction using methods such as kidney mobilization, Boari flap, and psoas hitch. The postoperative period was uncomplicated, and after a six-month follow-up, the reconstructed ureter is functioning well, and the patient is in good health.

Objective: This study aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of the complications unique to ureteral reconstruction in adults, emphasizing their presentation, diagnosis, and management in the treatment of ureteral structure disease.
Methods: This review involves an in-depth analysis of existing literature and case studies pertaining to ureteral reconstruction, with a focus on examining the range of complications that can arise post-surgery. Special attention is given to the presentation of each complication, the diagnostic process involved, and the subsequent management strategies.
Minimally invasive reconstruction of extensive mid-lower ureteral strictures using a bilateral Boari flap.

Department of Urology, Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University, Wuhan, China.
Objective: To describe and evaluate the technique using bilateral Boari flap ureteroneocystostomy (BBFUNC) for bilateral mid-lower ureteral strictures.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed five patients who underwent minimally invasive BBFUNC in our institution (Union Hospital, Wuhan, China) between July 2019 and December 2021. The bilateral ureters were mobilized and transected above the stenotic segments.
