Laparoscopic ureteroureterostomy using vascular closure staples in porcine model.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Expert-reported outcomes and complications may not reflect the standardized coding that can be provided by independent, third-party evaluations. The goal of this article is to compare expert-reported complications with standardized coding by the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP). The pr...
