Urologic Disorders:
Vesicoureteral Reflux and Ureteral Reimplant

Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is the backward flow of urine from the bladder into the kidneys. Patients with VUR can sometimes have recurrent kidney infections and may benefit from the ureteral reimplant. This involves sewing the ureter into the bladder at another location. It is often done using a large, lower abdominal incision. The robotic ureteral reimplant allows a precise connection to be made between the ureter and the bladder while reducing the pain and recovery time.
