Recognition of the stricture during robotic ureteric reconstruction, however, can be challenging. In this study, we introduce the novel technique of ureteroscopic ‘tattooing’ of the ureteric lumen on the level of the stricture to subsequently recognize it during robotic ureteroureterostomy. We also compare our technique with others used for ureteric stricture identification. Our preliminary data show that this technique is easy to use and can reduce the operating time and the complication rate postoperatively.
