Failed pyeloplasty in children: Is robot-assisted laparoscopic reoperative repair feasible?
Summary Objective In this study we aim to demonstrate that robot-assisted laparoscopic (RAL) reoperative repair is safe and effective and even less technically demanding than open repair for recurrent ureteropelvic-junction obstruction (UPJO).

Zusammenfassung: | Summary Objective In this study we aim to demonstrate that robot-assisted laparoscopic (RAL) reoperative repair is safe and effective and even less technically demanding than open repair for recurrent ureteropelvic-junction obstruction (UPJO). Study design A retrospective study was conducted of all cases of failed open pyeloplasties who underwent RAL reoperative repair at our institution between January 2010 and December 2013. The general surgical procedure was the same we previously described for robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty. Success was defined as: improvement in the degree of hydronephrosis at ultrasound, improvement of diuretic washout time at postoperative diuretic renogram ( |
