There are several therapeutic procedures for stenosis of the ureter. Ileal plasty is indicated in case of extended stenosis or those located in the pelvis when the poor quality of the bladder prevents use of a bladder flap. We report 6 surgical cases from 1977 to 1993, there were 4 women and 2 men, mean age 34 years. There was an inflammatory cause in 4 cases (tuberculosis or bilarziosis), retroperitoneal fibrosis in 1 case and idiopathic stenosis in 1. Radiographically, the stenosis was unilateral in the iliac area (3 cases), unilater in the pelvis (1 case) and bilateral and iliopelvic in 2 cases. Associated lesions included bladder injury with a small sclerotic bladder in 3 cases. Partial unilateral was used in 2 cases, bilateral U ileoplasty in 1 and ileouretero-cecocystoplasty in 3. Results were good in 5 cases with a follow-up from 2 months to 7 years. The patient with bilateral U ileoplasy without an antireflux procedure had massive bilateral reflux with renal failure and urinary infections. Ileoureteroplasty is indicated in case of extensive stenosis of the ureter. Results are good if an effective antireflux system is installed.

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.

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.
Introduction: Auto-expandable ureteral stents can be an alternative to percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) in refractory ureteral stenosis. Our aim is to analyse results and complications of ureteral stents in our centre.
Methods: Retrospective review of OptiMed® expandable ureteral stents placed in our centre (1996-2022).

Objectives: To present our initial experience of robotic ureteroplasty with lower-lip mucosal graft (LLMG) for treating ureteral stenosis longer than 2 cm and evaluate its feasibility and efficacy.
Materials And Methods: A total of thirteen patients with ureteral stenosis who underwent robotic ureteroplasty with LLMG were retrospectively analyzed. After identification and dissection of the ureteral stenosis segment, the segment was incised longitudinally.
