Description
Spinos and co-authors review in 2025 a robot assisted keyhole surgery that joins the ureter to a lower kidney cup. The operation is a fallback when the normal kidney outlet path fails. Robot help is gaining ground for this delicate join.
The team screened three databases to February 2025 under standard review rules. Eight studies met all criteria. Prior repair attempts and drainage tube use varied widely across studies. Operation times, blood loss, redo rates, and success rates are summed up, with success from about two thirds to full. Complication grades are also reported. The review maps where this robot approach is used in adults and children.
