Evaluation of pediatric hydronephrosis using deep learning quantification of fluid-to-kidney-area ratio by ultrasonography.

Abdominal radiology (New York)
PURPOSE: Hydronephrosis is the dilation of the pelvicalyceal system due to the urine flow obstruction in one or both kidneys. Conventionally, renal pelvis anterior-posterior diameter (APD) was used for quantifying hydronephrosis in medical images (e....

Robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery for treatment of urinary tract stones in children: report of a multicenter international experience.

Urolithiasis
This study aimed to report a multi-institutional experience with robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) for treatment of urinary tract stones in children. The medical records of 15 patients (12 boys), who underwent RALS for urolithiasis in 4 inte...

A systematic review and meta-analysis of conventional laparoscopic versus robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty in infants.

Journal of pediatric urology
OBJECTIVE: While there are several reports confirming the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic pyeloplasty (LP) and robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) in children there have been none comparing LP and RALP specifically in infants. In this ...

Day-case catheterless and drainless minimal-access pyeloplasty in adults: A single-center experience of 13 years.

International journal of urology : official journal of the Japanese Urological Association
OBJECTIVES: To analyze our practice of drainless and catheterless day-case minimal-access pyeloplasty with regard to feasibility, safety and long-term outcomes.

Primary vs redo robotic pyeloplasty: A comparison of outcomes.

Journal of pediatric urology
INTRODUCTION: Robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) is a safe and efficacious option for repair of UPJO. We hypothesize that redo-RALP is technically more difficult but has comparable outcomes to primary RALP.

Trends in robotic surgery utilization across tertiary children's hospitals in the United States.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: A growing number of tertiary children's hospitals are utilizing robotic surgical technology. We sought to characterize national trends in pediatric surgical robotic case utilization and related drivers.

Laparoscopic pediatric pyeloplasty using the Flexdex® articulating needle driver: step-by-step video.

Journal of pediatric urology
Ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) stenosis is the most common cause of pathological neonatal hydronephrosis. UPJ obstruction may be treated conservatively in some cases, but surgery is indicated if symptoms occur or renal function deteriorates. Pyeloplast...
