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.
