Laparoscopic ureteroplasty for the treatment of long ureteral strictures with appendiceal interposition and appendiceal onlay flap: technical description and initial experience.
Article in World journal of urology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundLaparoscopic ureteral reconstruction using the appendix is a novel and minimally invasive technique for treating long ureteral strictures. This study aims to report our initial experience and outcomes of laparoscopic appendiceal onlay flap ureteroplasty (LAOU) and laparoscopic appendiceal interposition ureteroplasty (LAIU) in patients with long ureteral strictures.
methodsData of 16 patients with right long ureteral strictures underwent either LAOU or LAIU between October 2021 and January 2025 in a single center were collected retrospectively. The pre-, intra-, and postoperative variables and follow-up results were analyzed.
resultsTen (62.5%) patients underwent LAIU, and six (37.5%) underwent LAOU. The mean stricture length was 3.2 cm (range, 2.0-5.0 cm), the operative time was 200.6 min (range, 150-240 min), the estimated blood loss was 84.4 mL (range, 50-200 mL), and the mean postoperative hospital stay was 5.9 days (range, 4-8 days). With a mean follow-up of 14.9 months (range, 3-30 months), the overall success rate was 93.8%. There was no significant difference in the parameters between LAOU and LAIU surgical procedures.
conclusionsLaparoscopic appendiceal ureteroplasty is a viable option for treating long-segment ureteral strictures on the right side. The choice between appendiceal onlay or interposition depends on the specific condition of the strictures.
