INTRODUCTION: Surgical management of duplex renal anomaly (DRA) is complex because of individual anatomic variation, competing priorities of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) and ureteral obstruction present in the same child, the varied differential funct...
OBJECTIVE: To describe the technique of robotic buccal mucosa graft ureteroplasty as a minimally invasive alternative method of ureteral reconstruction for proximal or multifocal ureteral strictures not amenable to primary anastomosis.
BACKGROUND: The necessity for urinary diversion with trans-anastomotic ureteral stenting during pyeloplasty is currently under debate. Performing a stentless repair could eliminate stent-related morbidity, including: stent migration, urinary tract in...

INTRODUCTION: Minimally invasive surgical techniques are currently used for numerous urologic disorders and generally offer decreased morbidity and equivalent outcomes compared with open surgery. There is a relative paucity of data on robot-assisted ...
OBJECTIVES: To explore the views of experts about the development and validation of a robotic surgery training curriculum, and how this should be implemented.
OBJECTIVE: This manuscript is mainly to systemically review the published reports that compared the efficacy and safety of robotic-assisted (RP) versus open pyeloplasty (OP) in children with ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO).

Two types of laparoscopic or robotic-assisted vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) repairs, the traditional transvesical (O'Conor) and extravesical techniques, dominate the literature. The objectives of this study are to compare success rates between laparosc...
BACKGROUND: In pediatric urology, robot-assisted surgery has overcome several impediments of conventional laparoscopy. However, workspace has a major impact on surgical performance. The limited space in an infant can significantly impede the mobility...

Robot-assisted surgery, as a development of laparoscopic surgery, has an increasing field of application. Beside urology, this technique has also been implemented in visceral and thoracic surgery and gynaecology. For the surgeon an enhanced view of t...
