AI Article Synopsis
- The study examines the outcomes of the psoas hitch procedure, involving 166 patients who had ureteral issues between 1993 and 2017, with a median follow-up of 15 months.
- The procedure is mainly effective for restoring ureteral continuity but has a failure rate of 8%, especially in patients with radiation-induced fibrosis.
- Overall, while the psoas hitch is considered safe, there are identified risks and complications to monitor, particularly in patients with a history of radiation therapy.
Article Abstract
Objectives: To present the short-term and long-term outcomes of the psoas hitch procedure in a large cohort with long-term follow-up.
Patients And Methods: A multicenter, retrospective cohort study was conducted. Patients were included if they had undergone an open psoas hitch procedure with ureteral reimplantation for different types of distal ureteral pathology between 1993 and 2017. Clinical failure was defined as radiologically-proven obstruction of the ureteroneocystostomy and/or post-operative complaints requiring additional surgery. Pre-operative demographic data and post-operative radiological imaging were collected. Complications were categorized as peri-operative, acute (<30 days), and long-term complications.
Results: A total of 166 patients had undergone a psoas hitch procedure, with a median follow-up of 15 months (IQR 6-45). Indications for the procedure included intra-operative injury of the ureter during gynecological, urological or general surgery, transitional cell carcinoma of the distal ureter, fistulae, (radiation) fibrosis, and trauma. There was no significant difference in pre- and post-operative estimated glomerular filtration rate. Post-operative complications included urinary leakage, recurrent urinary tract symptoms, recurrent malignancy, and kidney failure. Postoperative imaging was available in 143 patients. Failure of the psoas hitch procedure was seen in 8% (11/143) of the patients. In 55% (6/11) of these patients, radiation fibrosis was the indication for the psoas hitch procedure.
Conclusion: This study provides greater insight into the long-term complications of the open psoas hitch procedure in adults. The psoas hitch procedure can be considered a safe procedure for restoring the continuity of the ureter for different types of ureteral pathologies in adult patients. However, patients with a history of radiation therapy causing retroperitoneal fibrosis might be more prone to failure after the procedure.

Department of Urology, Institute of Urology, National Urological Cancer Center, Peking University First Hospital, Peking University, Beijing, China -
Background: The aim of this study was to report our technical experience and mid-term outcomes of robot-assisted redo ureteral reimplantation in adults following failed primary ureteral reimplantation.
Methods: Twelve patients underwent robot-assisted redo ureteral reimplantation from December 2020 to May 2022 at double centers. Surgical procedures included anti-reflux dismembered submucosal tunnel reimplantation, anti-reflux dismembered nipple reimplantation, and anti-reflux non-dismembered submucosal tunnel reimplantation.
A Systematic Review of Ureteral Reimplantation Techniques in Endometriosis: Laparoscopic Versus Robotic-Assisted Approach.

Unit of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Santo Spirito Hospital, 65124 Pescara, Italy.
Endometriosis, characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, includes deep endometriosis (DE), which can affect the urinary tract. Ureteral endometriosis (UE) is a rare but significant manifestation that can lead to ureteral obstruction, hydronephrosis, and potential kidney loss. This systematic review evaluates the effectiveness and outcomes of laparoscopic versus robotic-assisted ureteral reimplantation techniques in patients with UE.

Introduction & Objectives: The use of transperitoneal robotic-assisted procedures for ureterovesical junction (UVJ) anomalies in pediatric patients is increasing. However, the extra-peritoneal approach potentially less invasive, remains underexplored with robotic approach in pediatric patients. We present our experience of robot-assisted extra-vesical laparoscopic extra-peritoneal UVJ surgery.

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.
