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...
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).
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 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...
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.

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...
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...

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...
Management of symptomatic ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction with hydronephrosis and discordant Tc-99 mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG-3) renal scintigraphy is challenging. In this study we describe long-term outcomes of patients who underwent ro...

PURPOSE: Horseshoe kidney (HSK) is the most common renal fusion anomaly, occurring in 0.25% of the population (1). It presents technical obstacles to pyeloplasty for ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) despite robotic assistance (2, 3). KangDuo...
