Extravesical Nondismembered Ureteroplasty with Detrusorrhaphy: A Renewed Technique to Correct Vesicoureteral Reflux in Children

Ureteral Advancement in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Extravesical Ureteral Reimplantation for Treatment of Vesicoureteral Reflux

“…16 However, subsequent studies with modifications have revealed this technique to be durable and reliable. 4,5 Daines and Hodgson reported a modification with ureteral advancement in which an absorbable suture is placed distally through the muscle of the bladder wall and the adventitia of the distal ureter to fix the ureter at or close to the trigonal muscle. 17 Zaontz et al reported the modified open Lich-Gregoir repair with the ureteral advancement technique, with a success rate of 93%.…”

Extravesical robot‐assisted laparoscopic ureteral reimplantation for vesicoureteral reflux: Initial experience in Japan with the ureteral advancement technique

“…Despite the popularity of the Lich–Gregoir technique in Europe, the procedure did not gain popularity in the USA at first because the initial results showed a high failure rate (58%) . Approximately 20 years ago, however, extravesical OUR was revisited and was associated with a high success rate …”

Laparoscopic extravesical transperitoneal approach following the Lich-Gregoir technique in the treatment of vesicoureteral reflux in children

“…This technique is an extravesical procedure and has the following advantages: minimal bladder spasm, less morbidity because the bladder remains intact, no hematuria, and no anastomosis. In addition, decreased hospital stay with faster recovery makes it a potential 1-day surgery [15][16][17][18]. The Lich-Gregoir technique is associated with a high success rate, as with the Cohen technique.…”
