Robotic Pyeloplasty: Step by Step Surgical Technique
نویسندگان
چکیده
Symptoms and signs in adults might include recurrent flank pain, urinary tract infections and pyelonephritis that require surgical correction. Due to the European Association of Urology (EAU) Guidelines, indications for surgical treatment include impaired split renal function of less than 40%, a decrease of split renal function of more than 10% in subsequent studies, increased antero-posterior diameter on abdominal ultrasound and grade III/IV dilatation of the renal pelvis [3]. It has been reported that, laparoscopic, retroperitoneoscopic and robotic approaches have similar success rates compared to open surgical approach in experienced centers [3].

Comparison of Laparoscopic Pyeloplasty With and Without Robotic Assistance
OBJECTIVES The benefits of laparoscopic surgery with robotic assistance (da Vinci Robotic Surgical System, Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA) includes elimination of tremor, motion scaling, 3D laparoscopic vision, and instruments with 7 degrees of freedom. The benefit of robotic assistance could be most pronounced with reconstructive procedures, such as pyeloplasty. We aimed to compare laparosc...
متن کاملMinimally invasive surgical management of pelvic-ureteric junction obstruction: update on the current status of robotic-assisted pyeloplasty.
BACKGROUND Pelvi-ureteric junction (PUJ) obstruction is characterized by a functionally significant impairment of urinary transport caused by intrinsic or extrinsic obstruction in the area where the ureter joins the renal pelvis. The majority of cases are congenital in origin; however, acquired conditions at the level of the ureteropelvic junction may also present with symptoms and signs of obs...

OBJECTIVE Advanced laparoscopic skills limit the implementation of laparoscopic pyeloplasty to centers with extensive experience. The introduction of robotic technology into the field of minimally invasive surgery has facilitated complex surgical dissection and genitourinary reconstruction. We report our experience with robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty using the da Vinci Robotic Surgical...
متن کاملApproach to kidney stones associated with ureteropelvic junction obstruction during laparoscopic pyeloplasty
INTRODUCTION We have performed laparoscopic pyeloplasty (LP) in our department since 2004. Our goal is to describe, step by step, the approach of kidney stones during transperitoneal laparoscopic pyeloplasty and the outcomes after the procedure. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twelve patients with kidney stones treated by transperitoneal laparoscopic pyeloplasty were found. The hospital records with cli...
