The surgical video demonstrates the technical nuances of performing pyeloplasties on complex renal anomalies, including duplex, horseshoe, malrotated, and ectopic kidneys. The video also highlights the anatomic relationships of the affected kidney fo...
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...

INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: Up to 13.6% of women will undergo surgical treatment for stress urinary incontinence during their lifetime. Midurethral slings are the mainstay of stress incontinence treatment; however, diversity of surgical options is n...
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),...
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...
