Creation of a Boari flap is an option for ureteral reimplantation with high transection or stricture of the ureter. The benefits of laparoscopic surgery include decreased blood loss, quicker recovery time, and improved cosmesis. Robot-assisted surgery offers intraoperative advantages, including three-dimensional visualization with magnification and wristed movements with additional degrees of freedom. A 75-year-old woman with a persistent ureteral stricture opted for robot-assisted surgery for definitive management. To optimize the repair with least tension, creation of a Boari flap was chosen intraoperatively. Surgery and recovery were uncomplicated. Robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery can be safely used for Boari flap ureteral reimplantation.
