    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Splinted pyeloplasties for idiopathic pelviureteric obstruction showed fewer postoperative complications compared to unsplinted procedures. Long-term outcomes were comparable between the two surgical approaches.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Surgical Innovation
    • Pediatric Surgery

    Background:

    • Idiopathic pelviureteric obstruction is a common cause of pediatric kidney issues.
    • Pyeloplasty is the standard surgical treatment.
    • The role of internal stents in pyeloplasty outcomes requires further clarification.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the efficacy and complication rates of splinted versus unsplinted pyeloplasty.
    • To evaluate long-term functional outcomes following pyeloplasty for idiopathic pelviureteric obstruction.

    Main Methods:

    • A randomized controlled trial was conducted over ten years.
    • 129 patients with idiopathic pelviureteric obstruction were enrolled.
    • Patients were randomized to receive either a splinted or unsplinted pyeloplasty.

    Main Results:

    • The incidence of postoperative complications was significantly lower in the splinted pyeloplasty group.
    • No statistically significant difference in long-term functional results was observed between the two groups.
    • Splinting may reduce immediate postoperative morbidity without affecting long-term success.

    Conclusions:

    • Internal stent placement during pyeloplasty for idiopathic pelviureteric obstruction is associated with reduced postoperative complications.
    • The choice between splinted and unsplinted pyeloplasty does not appear to impact long-term surgical success.
    • Consideration of splinting may be beneficial for managing immediate postoperative recovery.
