ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of robotic-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty in children .Methods A retrospective study was performed in patients who underwent robotic-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty ( Anderson-Hynes ) at our institution between January 2014 to August 2014.Totally 6 boys were diagnosed as left ureteropelvic junction obstruction depending on the symptoms and radiographic studies .The mean age was 9 years ( range 4 -12 years ) .Results The procedure was performed successfully without conversion to open surgery in all of the cases .Mean operative time was 216 min (range 175-269 min), with a mean robotic anastomosis time of 45 min (range 30-60 min).Mean estimated blood loss was less than 15 ml.The mean hospitalization was 4.5 days.Mean follow-up period was 10 months ( range 7 -14 months ) .There were no perioperative complications , and recovery was uncomplicated (without recurrence, pyelonephritis, nephrarctia) in all of the patients.Conclusion Robotic-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty can be safely performed in children older than 4-year-old with ureteropelvic junction obstruction .
