Summary:The aim was to highlight the advantages and the feasibility of treating ureteral stump syndrome (USS) by different minimally invasive procedures. Four patients with USS who were treated by different minimally invasive surgery approaches depending on their presentation and findings on radiologic investigations. Three patients had complete resolution of their symptoms, whereas the fourth patient had persistence of urinary tract infection. Minimally invasive surgery is a valid treatment option for patients with USS with possible less morbidity than conventional open surgical excision.
