Introduction Pyeloplasty is commonly conducted in children with uretero-pelvic junction obstruction. Standard post-operational procedure involves only a short period of time after the surgery. What is the real number of complications, including those in the long-term? What is the function of the operated kidney?The aims of this study are to assess the effectiveness of pyeloplasty and to assess ...

PURPOSE We report our experience with laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) urological procedures in children less than 5 years of age. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten patients (11 procedures) underwent LESS through the umbilicus. Seven patients underwent nephrectomy and three patients underwent pyeloplasty (one simultaneous bilateral). R-port port (Advanced Surgical Concepts, Ireland) was used in ni...

Let us consider a great number of convex discs not "too different" from one another about which, apart from their total area, no further data are known. What can be said about the area of the largest square (or any other domain of given shape) which can be covered with the aid of these discs if we are allowed to cut each of them into a given number of suitable pieces? Analogously, we can raise ...

Abstract Background Pediatric pyeloplasty in ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is indicated renal impaired drainage or function deterioration. The improvement of after pediatric still controversial poorly functioning kidneys. Past studies on kidneys had a variable SRF specification, and these often limited number patients so that they did not achieve statistical significance. study aims...

OBJECTIVE In this study, we evaluated subcutaneous (sc) morphine in combination with multimodal analgesia for postoperative pain control after radical nephrectomy and pyeloplasty with flank incision. METHODS Forty-nine patients under The American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification (ASA) I-III aged 18-85 years undergoing radical nephrectomy and pyeloplasty with flank i...

The optimal management of children with antenatally diagnosed unilateral hydronephrotic kidneys is unclear. We have monitored renal function and drainage using 99mTc-DTPA renography in 77 children with such kidneys presenting at 1-14 mo of age with the aims of throwing light on the natural history of the condition and evaluating the response of the kidney to pyeloplasty. Since management was in...

Objective: Objective of this study was to review the management and outcome of 17 children with pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction (PUJO) in a duplex kidney. Materials and Methods: We analyzed our record from January 2000 to December 2011. A total of 258 pyeloplasty in a single system and 17 pyeloplasty in duplex system were performed during this period. Lower and upper pole moiety obstruction...

INTRODUCTION It is believed that lower pole crossing vessels may play an important role in the etiology of ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO). A conventional operative technique, which seems to be widely used in patients with UPJO, is Anderson-Hynes (A-H) plasty with dorsal transposition of the vessel. An attractive alternative to dorsal transposition of the vessel might be its cephalad ...

INTRODUCTION Although most urologists agree that failures after laparoscopic pyeloplasty occur usually within a year after the operation, late failures are also reported. AIM To assess late results of laparoscopic pyeloplasty. MATERIAL AND METHODS Seventy-eight of ninety-five patients who had been operated on between November 2001 and September 2009 were notified about the possibility of di...

In recent years, we have seen rapid development of minimally invasive procedures in urologic oncology, but also in corrective surgery of congenital defects, including ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO). After a period of testing the endoscopic treatment of UPJO, currently the majority of patients undergo laparoscopic or robotic surgery. Recently, single port laparoscopy (LESS) has become...
