The introduction of minimally invasive surgical techniques has helped decrease the morbidity of these procedures. This case series seeks to assess the safety and feasibility, and report initial outcomes of a single port robotic platform (SP) for reconstruction of the upper urinary tract (RUT). METHODS: Between February 2019 and March 2021, data were collected retrospectively on all cases of SP for RUT for key outcome including patient demographic, pre, peri, and post-operative data. RESULTS: 36 surgeries on 31 patients were performed (Table 1) with mean follow up of 204 days. 8 procedures were performed to salvage previous RUT. Intra and perioperative data are summarized in Table 2. Average length of stay was 2.11 days, with 5/36 (14%) same day discharges and 12/36 (33%) on POD1.1 patient was lost to follow-up.24/30 (80%) patients were stent and symptoms free. 2 patients are awaiting stent removal. One intraoperative complication (1/36, 2.8%) was recorded (repaired sigmoid laceration : no additional intervention) and 2 patients (2/36, 5.6%) had urine leaks necessitating PCNs perioperatively. 6/35 (17.1%) surgeries failed and required reoperation: 2 received salvage ureteroplasty (with success), 2 chose stent dependent, and 2 nephrectomies for atrophic kidney, poor renal function prior on renal scan. All results summarized Table 3. CONCLUSIONS: Single port robotic reconstruction of the upper urinary tract is safe and feasible. The functional outcomes and length of stay in our short term follow up period are encouraging. Comparison studies to other robotics platforms are ongoing to assess the role of single port robotic platforms for upper urinary tract reconstruction.
