Recently, genitourinary reconstruction has experienced a renaissance. Over the past several years, there has been an expansion of the literature regarding the use of buccal mucosa for the repair of complex ureteral strictures and other pathologies. The appendix has been an available graft utilized for the repair of ureteral stricture disease and has been infrequently reported since the early 1900s. This review serves to highlight the use of the appendix for reconstruction in urology, particularly focusing on the anatomy and physiology of the appendix, historical use, and current applications, particularly in robotic upper tract reconstruction.
最近，泌尿生殖系统重建经历了一次复兴。在过去的几年中，关于使用颊黏膜修复复杂输尿管狭窄和其他病变的文献不断增加。阑尾一直是用于修复输尿管狭窄疾病的可用移植物，自 20 世纪初以来很少有报道。本文综述旨在强调阑尾在泌尿外科中的重建应用，特别是重点介绍阑尾的解剖和生理学、历史应用以及当前的应用，特别是在机器人上尿路重建中的应用。
