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...
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...
Aim of this study was to report a single-center experience with robot-assisted ureteral reimplantation (RAUR) and to compare its outcomes with those of open ureteral reimplantation (OUR). Patients who underwent RAUR or OUR for ureteral disease betw...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Developments in robotic reconstructive urology have introduced novel treatments for complex upper and lower urinary tract disease. Short-term and mid-term data demonstrates excellent outcomes and minimal morbidity, suggesting the a...
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 ...
INTRODUCTION: Robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) is a safe and efficacious option for repair of UPJO. We hypothesize that redo-RALP is technically more difficult but has comparable outcomes to primary RALP.
