Summary
Domestic single-port robot-assisted pyeloplasty using the SHURUI system demonstrates preliminary safety and efficacy for ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) in adult and pediatric patients.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Robotic Surgery
- Minimally Invasive Procedures
Background:
- Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is a common congenital anomaly.
- Traditional pyeloplasty can be invasive.
- Single-port robotic surgery offers a minimally invasive alternative.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the preliminary safety and efficacy of domestic single-port robot-assisted pyeloplasty.
- To assess the feasibility of the SHURUI SP system for UPJO treatment.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective review of patients undergoing single-port robotic-assisted pyeloplasty (November 2023-May 2024).
- Utilized the SHURUI SP system via a single-site approach.
- Collected data on demographics, intraoperative/postoperative outcomes, and surgical success.
Main Results:
- 20 patients (ages 13-39, 4:1 male-to-female ratio) were included.
- Average operation time: 147 minutes; blood loss: 35 mL; hospital stay: 5 days.
- 100% success rate based on pain resolution and obstruction resolution at 4-month CT scan.
Conclusions:
- Domestic single-port robot-assisted pyeloplasty with the SHURUI system is safe and feasible.
- This approach is effective for treating UPJO in both adult and pediatric populations.
- Further research may validate these promising preliminary findings.
