Laparoscopic versus robot-assisted pyeloplasty in infants and young children.

Asian journal of surgery
OBJECTIVE: To compare the characteristics of conventional laparoscopic pyeloplasty (LP) and robotic-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) in infants and young children with ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO).

A systematic review and metaanalysis of open, conventional laparoscopic and robot-assisted laparoscopic techniques for re-do pyeloplasty for recurrent uretero pelvic junction obstruction in children.

Journal of pediatric urology
OBJECTIVE: About 3% of primary pyeloplasties may require a re-do pyeloplasty for recurrent uretero pelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) making it an uncommon operation even in large volume centers. In this MA we have compared the outcomes of open (OP),...

Robot-assisted Laparoscopic Bilateral Ileal Ureter in Duplex Ureter With Strictures After Treatment Failure of Allium Stents.

Urology
BACKGROUND: Ureteral injury and vaginal fistula are common complications after surgical treatment and radiotherapy of gynecological tumor. Ureteral injury in duplex system is more challenging and rarely reported. OBJECTIVE: We report our surgical tec...

A cumulative sum (CUSUM) analysis studying operative times and complications for a surgeon transitioning from laparoscopic to robot-assisted pediatric pyeloplasty: Defining proficiency and competency.

Journal of pediatric urology
INTRODUCTION: The transition from laparoscopic to robot-assisted procedures leads to potential increase in operative times and health care costs. Cumulative sum (CUSUM) analysis can objectively study the learning curve to detect significant changes i...

Single-port robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty in an infant: A video case report with 9 months follow up.

Journal of pediatric urology
INTRODUCTION: Single-port robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery is a breakthrough in the field of minimally invasive surgery. However, it is currently only applicable to older children due to the limitation of operating space. Here, we report a case of...

Laparoscopic and robot-assisted ureterocalicostomy for treatment of primary and recurrent pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction in children: a multicenter comparative study with laparoscopic and robot-assisted Anderson-Hynes pyeloplasty.

International urology and nephrology
PURPOSE: This multi-institutional study aimed to assess the outcomes of laparoscopic ureterocalicostomy (LUC) and robot-assisted laparoscopic ureterocalicostomy (RALUC) and compare them with laparoscopic pyeloplasty (LP) and robot-assisted laparoscop...

Robot-assisted transperitoneal reconstruction of a retrocaval ureter: A report of two cases.

Asian journal of endoscopic surgery
A retrocaval ureter (RCU) is a rare cause of congenital ureteral obstruction that often requires surgical repair. We report two cases of RCU in adults treated with robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery. In both cases, we performed robotic ureteroureter...

Robotic Ureteral Reconstruction.

The Urologic clinics of North America
It is generally accepted that robotic ureteral reconstruction provides equivalent results to open and laparoscopic approaches while decreasing pain and length of stay. There is a rapid expansion of robotic ureteral reconstructive techniques, platform...

Modified technique for robot-assisted laparoscopic infantile ureteral reimplantation for obstructive megaureter.

Journal of pediatric surgery
PURPOSE: To describe a novel modification of technique to improve efficacy of robot-assisted laparoscopic extravesical ureteral reimplantation (RALUR-EV) in infants.
