endourologic pyeloplasty is being a substitute of open pyeloplasty in management of ureteropelvic junction obstruction. this procedure can be done in different manners like balloon dilation, cold knife and electrosurgical endoureterotomy, accucise and lasers.a 47 year old woman referred with history of previous open pyeloplasty. hydronephrosis of right kidney with unremarkable t ½ was found in ...

Surgical treatment of pyelo-ureteric junction syndromes was classically at the child's, a pyeloplasty by posterior way or by lombotomy. For several years, assisted video techniques are proposed for this gesture. The purpose of our study was to compare the lombo-assisted pyeloplasty procedure with the lombotomy procedure, within the framework of this coverage. We made a retrospective study of pr...

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...

BACKGROUND Pyeloplasty for ureteropelvic junction obstruction correction is a common procedure, but the optimal method for protective diversion after pyeloplasty is still a matter of debate. OBJECTIVES Here, we present our clinical trial experience using a single percutaneous externalized nephroureteral (NU) 5-Fr catheter (infant feeding tube) with multiple side holes as the sole instrument o...

This 54 year old, malnourished white male was seen to determine management of an inactive bladder and ureteric strictures of the remaining right renal moiety. Following several lithotripsy and lithotomy procedures, which failed to control renal calculi, the left kidney was removed surgically 7 years ago. After several ESWOL and 2 percutaneous nephrolithotripsies, the patient developed a uretero...

OBJECTIVE Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is a common cause of symptomatic ureteral obstruction. The aim of this study is to assess the outcome of laparoscopic pyeloplasty in patients with UPJO. PATIENTS AND METHODS Medical reports of 47 UPJO patients treated with laparoscopic pyeloplasty were retrospectively analysed. All patients were recruited from our center in the period 2004-2...

OBJECTIVE Laparoscopic reconstructive urology is undergoing rapid change. We review the current status of laparoscopic reconstructive urology, with particular respect to pyeloplasty and reconstructive ureteric surgery. METHODS An extensive Medline search of reconstructive laparoscopic procedures was undertaken. The initial reports and large series reports of a range of procedures was examined...

This study aims firstly to assess the most adequate surgical approach for the creation of an ureteropelvic juntion obstruction (UPJO) animal model, and secondly to validate this model for laparoscopic pyeloplasty training among urologists. Thirty six Large White pigs (28.29±5.48 Kg) were used. The left ureteropelvic junction was occluded by means of an endoclip. According to the surgical approa...

OBJECTIVE To describe a new surgical technique of the first case of totally laparoscopic repair of primary obstructive congenital megaureter with pyeloplasty, intracorporeal excisional tailoring of the ureter and nonrefluxing ureteroneocystostomy. METHODS A 15-year-old male presented with obstructive megaureter. The standard three-port transperitoneal pyeloplasty technique and an additional 5...

PURPOSE To compare the outcomes of open pyeloplasty (OP), laparoscopy-assisted extracorporeal (LEXP), and robotic-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) for ureteropelvic junction obstruction in pediatric patients. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the age-matched cohort of 30 children who underwent OP, 30 who underwent LEXP, and 10 who underwent RALP at a single institution, from 1996 to...
