Extravesical Robotic Ureteral Reimplantation: Withstanding the Test of Time

The purpose of this review is to review the indications for extravesical robotic ureteral reimplantation (REVUR), outline the history and development of the surgical techniques, review the surgical outcomes, and provide our own practice’s surgical technique and outcomes.

The literature regarding REVUR shows variable but overall favorable success rates and low complication rates.

Although open ureteral reimplant presently stands as the gold standard surgical treatment of vesicoureteral reflux, REVUR withstands the test of time and continues to be utilized as a minimally invasive surgical option for children.
