Laparoscopic ureteral surgery is becoming increasingly common; however, advanced laparoscopic skills are required due to the precise suturing involved. Because of the size of the ureter and need for careful mucosal apposition to prevent stricturing, there is less room for error than with larger lumens, as in pyeloplasty. We sought to identify whether the presence of a stent is beneficial or a hindrance in performing ureteroureterostomy both for the novice and more experienced laparoscopist.
