A 26-year-old male presented with an obstructing calculus in the mid superior-moiety ureter in a duplicated urinary collecting-system. A sequela of the obstruction resulted in a symptomatic stricture in a functional superior-moiety ureter, unresponsive to endoscopic interventions. An ipsilateral robot-assisted laparoscopic side-to-side ureteroureterostomy was performed thus bypassing the stricture in the superior-moiety ureter. Follow up endoscopic visualisation showed a healthy, patent anastomosis. This video presentation shows appropriate positioning, operative technique and follow up for a robot assisted side-to-side ureteroureterostomy. Our minimally invasive novel method is a feasible and safe treatment of a duplex collecting system with a symptomatic ectopic ureter.

Introduction And Objective: Duplex renal collecting system is a common congenital anomaly in the pediatric population. The superior moiety ureter is often associated with an ectopic insertion. A common site of insertion is the urethra, which results in continuous incontinence.
