A new study conducted at the Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences in Uttar Pradesh, India, has introduced and evaluated a novel surgical technique called robot-assisted Foley tie ureteric tapering (RAFUT) and reimplantation. The technique is specifically designed for intravesical ureteral tapering during pediatric robotic-assisted ureteric reimplantation. The study found that RAFUT is a safe and effective surgical technique that addresses the challenges of intravesical surgery for dilated ureters, maintains anatomical orientation, and offers precise excision and suturing capabilities. The study involved four pediatric patients who underwent successful intravesical RAFUT without any complications, and they demonstrated resolution of vesicoureteric reflux (VUR) and no recurrent urinary tract infections during follow-up.
