The advent of the purpose-built da Vinci single-port robotic platform marks a pivotal advancement in minimally invasive urological surgery. Designed to overcome the ergonomic and technical limitations of prior single-site approaches, the single-port system enables complex procedures through a single incision, with enhanced dexterity, optimized use of confined spaces and improved cosmetic and peri-operative outcomes. The single-port system has been increasingly used across a wide range of urological indications, including robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, partial nephrectomy, nephroureterectomy and reconstructive surgeries such as pyeloplasty and ureteral re-implantation.

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.

Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is a common cause of hydronephrosis in children. We aimed to investigate the efficacy of robotic-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) in newborns with UPJO compared to laparoscopic pyeloplasty (LP). We conducted a retrospective study of newborns aged ≤ 3 months who underwent RALP or LP from May 2018 to December 2023.
