PURPOSES: Postoperative complications in patients with ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) negatively impact surgical outcomes and may necessitate redo surgery. We aimed to predict the occurrence of postoperative complications in these patients...
BACKGROUND: Hydronephrosis developing at the ureteropelvic junction due to obstruction poses clinical challenges as it has the potential to cause renal damage.
In adult patients with ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO), little data exist on predicting pyeloplasty outcome, and there is no unified definition of pyeloplasty success. As such, defining pyeloplasty success retrospectively is particularly v...
This study aimed to develop a deep-learning (DL) based method for three-dimensional (3D) segmentation of the upper urinary tract (UUT), including ureter and renal pelvis, on non-enhanced computed tomography (NECT) scans. A total of 150 NECT scans wit...
To explore the learning curve of robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) in children. The clinical data, surgical information, and postoperative complications of consecutive cases of RALP performed by the same surgeon in Shanghai Children's Ho...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review aims to provide an in-depth exploration of the recent advancements in robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) and its evolving landscape in the context of infant pyeloplasty, complex genitourinary (GU) anatomy, r...
We began using the da Vinci single port (SP) robot for pediatric urologic surgeries at our institution due to limited access to the multiport robot. Availability of this technology has allowed us to schedule cases in a timelier fashion and increase a...

Spatulation during ureteropelvic junction obstruction repair was evaluated in children treated by robot-assisted retroperitoneal pyeloplasty anastomosis (RRPA). Intraoperative video recordings (IVRs) of RRPA ( = 22 ureters) performed at a single in...
PURPOSE: This pilot study was designed to interpret the technically specific features of the avatera robotic system and present our initial experience with this novel platform in robot-assisted pyeloplasty (RAP).
