Single-port robotic ileal ureter reconstruction: feasibility, technique, and early outcomes.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeIleal ureter interposition is a well-established option for complex ureteral strictures. While minimally invasive approaches have evolved, the application of the single-port (SP) robotic platform for ileal ureter reconstruction has not been previously reported. This study presents the first clinical series evaluating the feasibility, technique, and early outcomes of SP robotic ileal ureter reconstruction.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed a prospectively maintained database of patients who underwent SP robotic ileal ureter substitution between September 2019 and November 2024 by a single surgeon. Demographic, perioperative, and functional data were analyzed. Surgical success was defined as freedom from reintervention, absence of radiographic obstruction, and stable renal function. Pre- and postoperative renal function was compared using paired statistical analysis.
resultsSeventeen patients underwent SP robotic ileal ureter reconstruction (29% male), with a mean age of 54 years. Radiation-induced strictures accounted for 70.6% of cases. Unilateral reconstruction was performed in 8 (47.1%), while 8 (47.1) required bilateral reconstruction with V-shaped or reverse-7 configurations, including bladder augmentation in selected cases. One patient (5.9%) underwent unilateral ileal ureter with bladder neck reconstruction. The median ileal segment length was 25 cm. Mean operative time was 308 min, and median blood loss was 70 mL. One intraoperative complication (5.9%) occurred. Postoperative complications were observed in 47%, with 11.8% classified as Clavien-Dindo grade IIIa. Renal function remained stable (preoperative eGFR 56.4 vs. postoperative 57.5 mL/min/1.73 m², p = 0.803). At a median follow-up of 20.5 months, the overall success rate was 94.1%.
conclusionsSingle-port robotic ileal ureter reconstruction is a feasible and effective technique for complex ureteral strictures, achieving high early success with acceptable morbidity.
