ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Introduction: Dismembered open pyeloplasty described by Anderson and Hynes is the "gold standard" for the treatment of ureteropelvic junction obstruction. The aim of our study was to compare the results of open (OP) vs laparoscopic (LP) vs robotic (RALP) pyeloplasty. Material and Methods: A multicenter prospective review was conducted of pyeloplasty surgeries performed at five high-volume centers between 2014 and 2018. Demographic data, history of prenatal hydronephrosis, access type, MAG3 renogram and differential renal function, surgery time, length of hospital stay, and complication rate (Clavien-Dindo) were recorded. Access type was compared using the Kruskal-Wallis, Chi-square, or Fisher's exact tests. Results: A total of 322 patients were included: 62 OP, 86 LP, and 174 RALP. The mean age was 8.13 (r: 1-16) years, with a statistically significant lower age (mean 5 years) in OP (p < 0.001). There were no significant differences in the distribution of the side affected. Operative time was 110.5 min for OP, 140 min for LP, and 179 min for RALP (p < 0.0001). Hospital stay was significantly shorter in the RALP group than in the other groups (p < 0.0001). There were no differences in postoperative complications and reoperations between the three groups. Conclusions: Minimally invasive surgery for the management of UPJO in children is gaining more acceptance, even in patients younger than 1-year-old. Operative time continues to be significantly shorter in OP than in LP and RALP. Hospital stay was shorter in RALP compared to the other techniques. No differences were found in complication rates, type of complications, and reoperation rate.
ABSTRACT
A fibrose retroperitoneal é uma doença rara, geralmente vista em pacientes com idade entre os 40 e 70 anose é secundária a um processo inflamatório crônico do retroperitôneo quepode comprimir os ureteres. A etiologia é desconhecida na maioria dos casos, ainda que vários fatores, como medicaçöes, doenças malignas einflamatórias, possamestar envolvidos. O diagnóstico de fibrose retroperitoneal deve ser considerado em pacientes com dor abdominal ou lombar e lesäo no retroperitôneo. Os sinais e sintomas säorelacionados com comprometimento de estruturas retroperitoneais como veia cava, aorta e ureteres. Quando ambos ureteres säo comprometidos, a insuficiência renal do tipo obstrutivo pode se desenvolver. Várias opçöes medicamentosas têm sido utilizadas nessas situaçöes. Apresentam-se neste trabalho dois casos de fibrose retroperitoneal: um deles idiopático e o outro, provavelmente, secundário a processo inflamatório crönico. Ambos foram submetidos a procedimentos cirúrgicos convencionais com a liberaçäo cirúrgica dos ureteres ou nefrostomia"au"
