Laparoscopic reconstructive urology, particularly pyeloplasty, demonstrates high success rates exceeding 90%. This minimally invasive approach is effective for UPJ obstruction and other reconstructive ureteric surgeries.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Laparoscopic reconstructive urology is rapidly evolving.
  • Review focuses on pyeloplasty and reconstructive ureteric surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current status of laparoscopic reconstructive urology.
  • To assess laparoscopic pyeloplasty and reconstructive ureteric procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Extensive Medline search of reconstructive laparoscopic procedures.
  • Examination and summarization of initial and large series reports.
  • Focus on laparoscopic pyeloplasty and other reconstructive ureteric surgeries.

Main Results:

  • Laparoscopic pyeloplasty shows success rates averaging over 90% with low complication rates.

Technical Modification of the Terminal Ureter During Total Transperitoneal Laparoscopic Nephroureterectomy for Upper Urinary Tract Urothelial Carcinoma

Published on: November 22, 2019

  • Other procedures like ureteric re-implantation, Boari flap, urinary diversion, and transuretero-ureterostomy yield encouraging results.
  • Laparoscopic pyeloplasty can be performed via transperitoneal or retroperitoneal routes with excellent outcomes.

    • Conclusions:

    • Laparoscopic pyeloplasty is a safe and effective "gold standard" for UPJ obstruction, especially in complex cases.
    • Laparoscopic reconstructive ureteric surgeries are feasible and show promise when performed by experienced surgeons.
