UPJ obstruction is a congenital narrowing of the ureter
or the small, tube-like structure that carries urine from
the kidneys to the bladder. Using minimally invasive robotic
methods, surgeons are able to perform the reconstructive
surgery with very high precision through four incisions of
a half-inch or less. For muscle-invasive bladder cancer or
superficially recurrent bladder cancer, parts of the complex
surgery can be performed using the da Vinci® S
Surgical System. The procedure requires the removal of the
bladder, lymph nodes, part of the urethra and the uterus,
ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, and a small part of vagina.
