Abstract
This paper is a systematic review of the current literature in minimally invasive reconstructive urological surgery. It focuses on the commonest reconstructive procedures in both the upper and lower urinary tracts including laparoscopic and robotic pyeloplasty for ureteropelvic junction obstruction, laparoscopic and robotic bladder diverticulectomy, laparoscopic and robotic partial cystectomy with urinary diversion, laparoscopic and robotic cystoplasty, repair of colovesical fistula, and, in urogynaecology, repair of vesicovaginal fistula. To evaluate the development, current status, feasibility, and safety of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) in reconstructive urology the literature on the topic was collated and reviewed.
