Article Abstract
Introduction: To prospectively compare the perioperative and functional outcomes of laparoscopic (LP) and open pyeloplasty (OP) in three academic institutions.
Material And Methods: Between September 2012 and September 2016, 102 patients with primary uteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) underwent pyeloplasty (51 LP and OP for the other 51 patients). Demographic data, perioperative parameters, including operative time, estimated blood loss, complications, length of hospital stay, and functional outcome were compared, and SF-8 Health Survey scoring was recorded for each group.Patients were followed up by ultrasound (US) and /or intravenous urography (IVU) at 3, 6 and 12 months. A MAG-3 renal scan was performed at 3 months postoperatively.
Results: The mean operative time was significantly shorter in the open group (153.2 ±42 min vs. 219.8 ±46 min; P <0.001). Compared to OP, the mean postoperative analgesia (Diclofenac) requirement was significantly less in the LP group (101.1 ±36 mg vs. 459.1 ±123 mg; P <0.001). The median hospital stay was significantly shorter for LP (2.7 ±1.8 days vs. 9.09 ±7.3 days; P <0.001). The median follow-up period was 19.7 months (12-28 months). The success rate was 96.1% in the OP group and 94.1% in the LP group.
Conclusions: In spite of being a technically demanding procedure, LP offers faster recovery and higher patient satisfaction. In our hands, OP still has a shorter operative time and relatively lower retreatment rate.

Spontaneous rupture of the pelvicalyceal system due to obstructive uropathy is a rare urological emergency. It can mimic other abdominal catastrophes and may be underrecognized, especially in young patients. We report the case of a 17-year-old male presenting with sudden-onset left flank pain, fever, and vomiting.

Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO), characterised by prenatal or postnatal renal pelvis dilation, represents the primary cause of congenital paediatric hydronephrosis. UPJO may lead to impaired renal function in paediatric patients. Its pathogenesis includes genetic predisposition and anatomical abnormalities.

Background: The utilization of robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) for the surgical correction of ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) continues to increase. The aim of this study was to determine whether robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) is a safe and equally efficacious procedure compared to open pyeloplasty (OP) in infants ≤12 months old.
Methods: All patients ≤12 months old who underwent RALP or OP between January 2012 and January 2021 at five participating centers were included in this study.

Purpose: This study aims to assess the long-term outcomes of robotic-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) for the treatment of ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) in infants under 3 months of age, and to compare these outcomes with those of infants aged 3-12 months.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis was performed on 226 infants who underwent RALP between March 2017 and December 2021. Patients were stratified into two groups: Group A (aged <3 months, n = 114) and Group B (aged 3-12 months, n = 112).

Objective: To evaluate the technical feasibility and perioperative safety of pyeloplasty assisted by the Carina modular laparoscopic surgical robotic system in patients with ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO).
Methods: From November to December 2024, five consecutive patients diagnosed with UPJO underwent robot-assisted pyeloplasty using the Carina modular laparoscopic surgical system at Peking University First Hospital. Data on patient demographics, intraoperative parameters (including docking time, console time, and estimated blood loss), perioperative outcomes, follow-up results, and surgeons' subjective evaluations of system performance were prospectively collected.
