Abstract
Abstract The landscape for upper genitourinary tract reconstruction continues to evolve with innovations in technology and surgical techniques. While the use of flaps and grafts in reconstructive surgery is not a novel concept, the application of buccal mucosal grafts in ureteral reconstruction has only been described over the last 20 years and is now an important adjunct for approaching ureteral strictures. Alongside the increasing use of robotics in urologic surgery, the options available for reconstruction of the upper tract with decreasing patient morbidity are multiplying. Herein, we aim to highlight various patient characteristics which may favor the use of buccal mucosa for addressing ureteral strictures.
期刊介绍：
Research and Reports in Urology is an international, peer-reviewed, open access, online journal. Publishing original research, reports, editorials, reviews and commentaries on all aspects of adult and pediatric urology in the clinic and laboratory including the following topics: Pathology, pathophysiology of urological disease Investigation and treatment of urological disease Pharmacology of drugs used for the treatment of urological disease Although the main focus of the journal is to publish research and clinical results in humans; preclinical, animal and in vitro studies will be published where they will shed light on disease processes and potential new therapies. Issues of patient safety and quality of care will also be considered.
