ASL Rome 1's Urology team has recently achieved a significant milestone by successfully performing a ureteral reconstruction procedure on a patient suffering from a rare and complex condition: plurirecurrent ureteral stenosis. This complex procedure, skillfully executed by Dr. Marco Martini, Director of Urology at San Filippo Neri, and his team, has distinguished itself through precision and effectiveness.
Plurirecurrent ureteral stenosis is a heterogeneous pathological condition that demands highly specialized surgical expertise. In the case of the 48-year-old male patient, ureteral reconstruction was necessary to address this issue. This surgical operation requires extreme precision and an advanced surgical approach.
To ensure the success of the procedure, Dr. Martini relied on the Da Vinci surgical robot, a state-of-the-art tool offering an unprecedented level of precision. The use of this robot allowed the surgeons to carry out the delicate operation with extreme accuracy, minimizing the risk of complications.
The novelty of this procedure lies in the use of buccal mucosa for ureteral reconstruction. Buccal mucosa is a particularly resilient tissue suited for this type of reconstruction, ensuring increased durability and a reduced likelihood of recurrence.
The patient, who underwent the procedure successfully, is in good health and does not exhibit significant disturbances. He will be discharged gradually, following a thorough clinical evaluation to monitor his recovery.
This success adds to the already impressive list of achievements by Dr. Marco Martini, one of the leading robotic surgeons at San Filippo Neri. His dedication and expertise continue to shine a spotlight on the Urology department, renowned for its use of cutting-edge technology and high-level surgical skill.
