BACKGROUND: Accurate measurement of ureteral diameters plays a pivotal role in diagnosing and monitoring urinary tract obstruction (UTO). While three-dimensional magnetic resonance urography (3D MRU) represents a significant advancement in imaging, t...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the outcomes of children with vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) and obstructive megaureter (OM) utilizing various laparoscopic and robot-assisted approaches.
To evaluate functional outcomes of robot-assisted ureteroplasty with labial mucosa grafting for long proximal ureteral stenosis (LPUS) in children and adolescents. Included in this study were 15 patients who underwent robot-assisted ureteroplasty w...
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...
BACKGROUND: The KangDuo-Surgical Robot-01 (KD-SR-01) system is a new surgical robot recently developed in China. The aim of this study was to present our single-center experience and mid-term outcomes of urological procedures using the KD-SR-01 syste...
INTRODUCTION: Pyeloplasties are time-sensitive, and the most common robot assisted intervention performed in pediatric urology. Early intervention is intended to avoid permanent loss of renal function with negative long-term effects if surgery is del...
