Robotic-assisted pyelo-ureterostomy appears as a safe and efficient technique for management of complicated urological complications postrenal transplantation using the native ureter. Intrapelvic ICG injection, not possible with open surgery, helps identifying the grafted pelvis thus reducing operative time and avoiding unnecessary dissection of the vascular hilum of the graft. Because of minimal dissection and the short operative time, abdominal drainage is unnecessary and the postoperative course is usually uneventful with a fast discharge from the hospital.
