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.
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.

OBJECTIVES: To analyze our practice of drainless and catheterless day-case minimal-access pyeloplasty with regard to feasibility, safety and long-term outcomes.
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 ...
