PURPOSE: Recurrent ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) after failed pyeloplasty is a complex surgical dilemma. The robot-assisted laparoscopic ureterocalicostomy (RALUC) is a potential surgical approach, but widespread adoption is limited due t...
BACKGROUND: Since the development of minimally invasive surgery (MIS), laparoscopic and robotic approaches have been widely adopted. However, little has been published detailing the learning curve of MIS, especially in infants.

To compare open and robotic approach for treatment of Primary Obstructive Megaureter (POM) in a series of pediatric patients. Medical records of all patients who had undergone ureteral reimplantation for POM at our institution, between January 2016...
PURPOSE: To develop a model that predicts whether a child will develop a recurrent obstruction after pyeloplasty, determine their survival risk score, and expected time to re-intervention using machine learning (ML).
INTRODUCTION: Robot-assisted laparoscopic (RAL) urologic surgery is widely used in pediatric patients, though less commonly in infants. There are small series demonstrating safety and efficacy in infants, however, stratification by infant size has ra...
BACKGROUND: Kidney autotransplantation is a useful technique to be reserved for cases in which kidney function is compromised by a complex anatomical configuration, such as long ureteral strictures and renal vascular anomalies not suitable for in sit...
Comparative outcome studies investigating internal Double-J (DJ) and externalized stents have primarily been performed for open and laparoscopic pyeloplasty, with a paucity of literature surrounding outcomes in robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplast...
This study aimed to report a multi-institutional experience with robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) for treatment of urinary tract stones in children. The medical records of 15 patients (12 boys), who underwent RALS for urolithiasis in 4 inte...
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 ...
