BACKGROUND: The treatment paradigm for ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) has shifted towards minimally invasive pyeloplasty. A comparison Single Port (SP) and Multi Port (MP) robot-assisted pyeloplasty (RAP) was performed.
INTRODUCTION: Data concerning anaesthesia for endourology are rare, and options for it are numerous. Thus, identifying the optimal anaesthesia regimen remains challenging. With this study we aimed to provide the means for selecting optimal anaesthesi...
Single-port robot-assisted pyeloplasty (SP-RP) has been performed in recent years. However, the advantages and disadvantages of SP-RP compared with multiple-port robot-assisted pyeloplasty (MP-RP) remain unclear. The purpose of this meta-analysis wa...
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...
Robotic surgery has been used in urology for more than two decades. It is a minimally invasive procedure with less morbidity, mortality and length of hospital stay compared to open surgery. The advantage of robotic surgery has led to a shift in the t...
To perform a systematic review (SR) and meta-analysis (MA) of outcomes of robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) for ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction in children. A SR of the English-language literature on surgical techniques and pe...
