In this video we present a case of robotic intracorporeal ileal substitution and describe the technique for this minimally invasive procedure. METHODS: The patient was derived to our center due to sepsis after a left ureteroscopy. Imaging revealed total ureteral avulsion that required nephrostomy tube placement. We patient was scheduled months later por robotic ileal interposition. RESULTS: The surgery was done in two phases. The first one included the ileal selection with reconstruction of bowel transit, transposition to the retroperitoneal space below the sigmoid colon, stenting with double J catheter and distal anastomosis to the bladder. The second phase is done in lateral decubitus position. The remnant of the ureter is dissected and sutured to the proximal intestinal end. Total surgical time was 6 hours. The patient had an uneventful postoperative recovery. Both stents were removed at the first month. In the CT scan there was no hydronephrosis and MAG-3 renal scintigraphy showed symmetric radiotracer uptake. CONCLUSIONS: A totally intracorporeal robot assisted ileal interposition is a feasible technique that permits a minimally invasive approach for two different fields.
