CAsE The patient is a 28-year old female with an obstructed ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) of the left moiety of a horseshoe kidney. The Da Vinci S robotic platform was used. After transperitoneal access was obtained, a window in the mesentery was identified, and the renal pelvis was exposed. A dismembered, spatulated pyeloplasty was performed with transposition of the UPJ to a more dependent por...

uretero-pelvic junction obstruction (upjo) is a common congenital anomaly that may need pyeloplasty to prevent renal function deterioration. the purpose of this study was to describe a modified use of jj stent catheter in pyeloplasty for infant with upjo. a series of 12 children, between 3 and 10 months, underwent stenting open pyeloplasty. in each patient a 6 french foley catheter was placed w...

Purpose: To report our experience in treating patients with failed previous open pyeloplasty by transperitoneal laparoscopic pyeloplasty. Materials and Methods: Eleven patients with previous failed open pyeloplasty were reviewed, all of whom had undergone transperitoneal laparascopic pyeloplasty. All procedures were performed by a single team. Depending on the anatomic situation, either dismemb...

PURPOSE To evaluate the results of a sequence of 47 laparoscopic Anderson-Hynes pyeloplasties for the treatment of patients with ureteropelvic junction obstruction, independently of the etiology. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty male and 27 female patients diagnosed with ureteropelvic junction obstruction were treated by Anderson-Hynes transperitoneal laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty from Apr...

Open dismembered pyeloplasty is the current gold standard in the treatment of Pelviureteric Junction Obstruction (PUJO). However, laparoscopic pyeloplasty has been increasingly reported in the literature as a technique with equal efficacy. Additionally, laparoscopic surgery offers the advantage of being minimally invasive, which may result in less post-operative pain and shorter hospital stays....

Pelviureteric junction (PUJ) obstruction is a condition frequently encountered in both adult and pediatric patients. Congenital abnormalities and crossing lower-pole renal vessels are the most common underlying pathologies in both men and women. This report presents a case of a young woman who was complaining of intermittent abdominal pain in whom right-sided hydronephrosis was diagnosed. The p...

Dismembered Anderson-Hynes pyeloplasty is the Gold standard surgical treatment for uretero-pelvic junction obstruction. Revision of the renal pelvis treats the obstruction by excising the stenotic adynamic area of the uretero-pelvic junction and creating a more capacious conduit using the tissue of the remaining ureter and renal pelvis.This study focuses on the various indications, techniques, ...
