Transnephrostomic Indocyanine green guided Robotic Ureteral Reimplantation for Benign Uretero-ileal Strictures after Robotic Cystectomy and Intracorporeal Neobladder: step-by-step surgical technique, perioperative and functional outcomes
To describe our surgical technique of robotic uretero-ileal reimplantation for uretero-ileal anastomosis strictures with the use of near-infrared fluorescence imaging after transnephrostomic antegrade injection of indocyanine green in patients previously treated with robot-assisted radical cystectomy and intracorporeal orthotopic neobladder. Materials and Methods From March 2015 to December 2017, 10 consecutive patients underwent robotic uretero-ileal reimplantation in our tertiary referral center. All patients previously underwent percutaneous nephrostomy and at least one antegrade stenting and stricture dilatation attempt. Clinical data were prospectively collected into our institutional dataset. Perioperative and functional outcomes were both assessed.
