Hao-Han ChangTaiwan Speaker Surgical Reconstruction of Ureteral StrictureUreteral reconstruction remains a critical challenge in urologic surgery, especially when managing complex ureteral strictures or iatrogenic injuries. This lecture provides a comprehensive overview of current surgical techniques, including ureteroureterostomy, ureteroneocystostomy, psoas hitch, Boari flap, and transureteroureterostomy. We will also explore the indications, decision-making algorithms, and outcomes associated with these procedures. Emphasis will be placed on real-world clinical scenarios, surgical tips, and complication management. Additionally, emerging techniques such as robotic-assisted reconstruction and tissue engineering approaches will be briefly discussed. This session aims to equip practicing urologists with practical knowledge and updated insights into optimizing surgical outcomes in ureteral reconstruction.
