OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) and describe the short and long-term outcomes of pediatric RALP.
INTRODUCTION: Pyeloplasty (open or Robot-assisted) is the gold standard of a symptomatic UPJ stenosis. Sometimes anatomic variants make the procedure challenging. This video describes a step-by-step approach in three settings: a crossing blood vessel...

BACKGROUND: Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) and renal calculi are associated in 20 to 30% of cases and treatment is mandatory. The simultaneous surgical management is a therapeutic challenge that is still a source of controversy. We describ...
INTRODUCTION: Antenatal hydronephrosis (ANH) is one of the most common anomalies identified on prenatal ultrasound, found in up to 4.5% of all pregnancies. Children with ANH are surveilled with repeated renal ultrasound and when there is high suspici...

Duplex kidney and ureter is a congenital malformation. Few patients present with hydronephrosis caused by obstruction of the ureteropelvic junction of the duplex kidney, but lower kidney calculi caused by a duplex kidney abnormality is rare. This stu...
BACKGROUND: Complete intracorporal robotic ileal ureteric replacement is challenging. We aimed to present the surgical technique of robotic ileal ureter replacement with extracorporeal ileal segment preparation for long ureteral strictures.
Robot-assisted laparoscopic extravesical ureteral reimplantation (RALUR) and robotic ureteroureterostomy (RUU) are two mini-invasive surgical techniques that have begun to be performed in pediatric urology in recent years. RALUR has been employed esp...
