Abstract

Introduction: Severe iatrogenic ureteral injuries are uncommon but challenging clinical scenarios, mostly related to abdominal and gynecological surgery (1) but lately also to spinal surgery (2). Prompt management is mandatory to avoid impaired outcomes (3). Moreover, a minimally invasive approach is desirable to minimize surgical morbidity and expedite recovery (4). Single Port robotic surgery is being implemented for a variety of indications, including ureteral surgery (5, 6).

Materials and methods: We present the case of a 48-year-old, who underwent lumbar spinal fusion surgery and 3 days after discharge was readmitted presenting abdominal pain. A CT scan revealed a large abdominal fluid collection and consequently a percutaneous drain was placed. A subsequent CT-urogram revealed a right ureteral injury at level of the ureteropelvic junction (UPJ). A percutaneous nephrostomy was inserted after unsuccessful retrograde and anterograde stent placement attempts. The patient underwent SP robotic early repair of the ureter 3 weeks after spinal surgery.

Results: SP robotic ureteral injury repair with transperitoneal approach was performed. The surgery was well tolerated without intraoperative complications, patient was discharged on post-operative day 2. Right percutaneous nephrostomy was removed after 2 weeks and ureteral stent after 4. At 6-months follow-up the patient was asymptomatic and CT-urogram confirmed symmetric contrast excretion without hydroureteronephrosis or contrast leakage.

Conclusion: SP robotic repair of the UPJ injury is safe and feasible. This procedure provides the benefits of minimally invasive surgery, and it should be considered as a valid alternative to traditional multiport robotic approach.

腰椎融合术后医源性肾盂输尿管连接处断裂:使用SP机器人系统进行早期修复。
作品简介:严重的医源性输尿管损伤并不常见,但具有挑战性的临床情况,主要与腹部和妇科手术有关(1),但最近也与脊柱手术有关(2)。及时处理是必要的,以避免受损的结果(3)。此外,微创方法是理想的,以减少手术发病率和加快恢复(4)。单端口机器人手术正在用于各种适应症,包括输尿管手术(5,6)。我们提出一个48岁的病例,他接受了腰椎融合手术,出院后3天再次入院,表现为腹痛。CT扫描显示大量腹腔积液,因此经皮引流。随后的ct尿路检查显示右侧输尿管损伤位于输尿管肾盂连接处(UPJ)。逆行和顺行支架置入失败后,经皮肾造口术被置入。患者在脊柱手术后3周接受了SP机器人输尿管早期修复。结果:采用SP机器人输尿管经腹腔入路修复输尿管损伤。手术耐受性良好,无术中并发症,术后第2天出院。术后2周切除右侧经皮肾造瘘,术后4周切除输尿管支架。随访6个月,患者无症状,ct尿路图证实造影剂排泄对称,无肾积水或造影剂渗漏。结论:SP机器人修复UPJ损伤是安全可行的。该手术提供了微创手术的好处,它应该被视为传统多端口机器人入路的有效替代方法。
