Description
Kangxiang Xu and co-authors describe a hard urinary repair done with a robot in a 2025 case report. The patient, aged thirty-eight, had a blocked joint between kidney and ureter that had come back after past surgery, with a long stretch of the upper ureter wiped out. Scar tissue and strain at the join make such repeat repairs prone to fail.
Surgeons formed the back wall of the new join from a flap of nearby tissue and the front wall from a graft of lining taken from the tongue. Blood loss was small, and scans later showed the kidney draining well with no blockage. At sixteen months, the right kidney's filtering rate had risen. The report pairs the case with a review of past work.
