About

M.I. Katibov is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on the challenging field of ureteral reconstruction, with a specific focus on the use of oral mucosa grafts for managing complex ureteral strictures. His major contributions include comprehensive literature reviews that synthesize global surgical outcomes, providing critical insights into the efficacy and evolving techniques of buccal mucosa graft ureteroplasty. His 2018 review, which analyzed sixteen original studies spanning open, robotic, and laparoscopic approaches, has become a foundational reference in the field, earning 7 citations. He further updated this body of knowledge in 2022, tracking the latest worldwide experience and refinements in oral mucosa ureteroplasty for benign strictures. By systematically evaluating surgical results and technical nuances, Katibov has helped establish best practices for this reconstructive technique, offering urologists a valuable evidence base for treating patients with ureteral damage. His work is particularly notable for its focus on minimally invasive applications, highlighting the shift toward robotic-assisted procedures. For students and researchers in urology, Katibov’s reviews serve as essential guides to the state of the art in ureteral reconstruction using autologous tissue grafts.
