Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Robotic Surgery

Background:

  • Laparoscopic pyeloplasty is effective but technically challenging.
  • Robot-assisted pyeloplasty (RP) was developed to ease the learning curve.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the institutional experience with robot-assisted pyeloplasty (RP).

Main Methods:

  • 29 RPs were performed between October 2005 and September 2006.
  • Procedures were transperitoneal using a 4-port template.
  • Outcomes were prospectively recorded and retrospectively reviewed.

Main Results:

  • Mean follow-up was 11 months.
  • Mean operative time was 196 minutes, with average blood loss of 39 mL and hospital stay of 2.2 days.

  • No recurrences were observed; two patients required open conversion early in the series.

    • Conclusions:

    • Robot-assisted pyeloplasty (RP) is a technically feasible option for ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction.
    • Success rates are comparable to conventional laparoscopic and open pyeloplasty.
