As such, research is lacking, and the largest adult cohort studies include fewer than 30 patients. Our aim was to be the first population-based study to report on national utilization trends, factors associated with patient selection, inpatient outcomes, and the relative cost of RAUR for adults with benign ureteral disease (BUD).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The National Inpatient Sample (2010\u20132015) was queried to identify all elective, nontransplant-related, open and robot-assisted reimplants for adult BUD.
