Ureteral rest was defined as having the absence of hardware across a strictured segment before definitive surgical repair. All patients who obtained both pre- and post-ureteral rest retrograde and\/or antegrade pyelograms were included for analysis. An experienced genitourinary radiologist reviewed all pre- and post-retrograde and\/or antegrade pyelograms to determine stricture quality and length. Primary outcomes included the change in stricture quality and the difference in ureteral stricture length after ureteral rest.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Overall, 50 patients met the inclusion criteria. Preoperative stricture quality was determined to be narrowed in 86.0% and obliterative in 14.0% of patients. The median duration of ureteral rest was 11.1 (interquartile range [IQR] 5.7\u201322.8) weeks. Of those with narrowed strictures, 12.0% progressed to obliterative strictures after ureteral rest. There were 37 (74.0%) patients who had an increase in stricture length after ureteral rest. The median growth in stricture length after ureteral rest was 0.2 (IQR: \u22120.2\u20130.4) centimeters. At a median follow-up of 6.2 (IQR: 2.9\u201310.0) months, 88.0% of patients were surgically successful.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Ureteral rest can lead to changes in stricture quality, which may be valuable in surgical decision-making.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1089\/end.2024.0920","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,10]],"date-time":"2025-06-10T04:45:09Z","timestamp":1749530709000},"page":"686-690","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Radiographical Changes after Ureteral Rest for Robotic Ureteral Reconstruction"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"39","author":[{"given":"Matthew","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nathan","family":"Liss","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kelley","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Omar","family":"Agosto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7630-2740","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel D.","family":"Eun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_4_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.urology.2011.01.042"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.juro.2017.11.110"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.juro.2008.07.032"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.urology.2021.01.058"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11255-021-02985-6"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ucl.2022.05.002"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.urology.2020.07.008"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.urology.2023.12.003"}],"container-title":["Journal of Endourology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1089\/end.2024.0920","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1089\/end.2024.0920","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1089\/end.2024.0920","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,28]],"date-time":"2026-04-28T20:16:43Z","timestamp":1777407403000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1089\/end.2024.0920"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025,7]]},"references-count":8,"journal-issue":{"issue":"7","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2025,7]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1089\/end.2024.0920"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1089\/end.2024.0920","relation":{},"ISSN":["0892-7790","1557-900X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0892-7790","type":"print"},{"value":"1557-900X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2025,7]]}}}
