To better understand generalizability of success, we used a network of healthcare organizations (HCOs) to evaluate surgical success following robotic-assisted pyeloplasty (RP), ureteral reimplantation (RR), and ureteroureterostomy\/ureteroplasty (RU).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We searched the TriNetX database for adult (&gt;18 years old) patients undergoing RP, RR and RU. Our primary outcome was need for drain placement (nephrostomy or ureteral stent) from 4 weeks to 10 years postoperatively. We evaluated risk factors (RF) for drain placement (vascular disease, kidney disease, diabetes (DM), smoking history, radiation history, age, body mass index (BMI, kg\/m^2)) using hazard ratios, with significance when 95% confidence interval does not include 1.0.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Analyses were run in October 2024. There were 1,324 RP patients from 30 HCOs, 464 RR patients from 22 HCOs, and 875 RU patients from 27 HCOs. Respectively, 10.8%, 11.7%, and 7.9% of patients needed a drain. DM (HR 2.0 (1.04\u20133.68)), smoking (HR 2.2 (1.34\u20133.49)), and BMI &gt; 25 (HR 1.6 (1.07\u20132.34)) were RFs for drain placement following RP. DM (HR 2.8 (1.18\u20136.63)) was also a RF for RR patients. Radiation was a RF for both RR (HR 2.9 (1.03\u20138.09)) and RU (HR 3.7 (1.006\u201313.9)) patients. Age &gt; 50 years (HR 2.3 (1.16\u20134.49)) was a RF for RU patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We report outcomes of robotic ureteral reconstruction from a variety of HCOs.
