Robotic Pyeloplasty

Abstract

Historically, the gold standard for management of ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) has been open pyeloplasty. However, continued technological and surgical advances have ultimately led to the robotic approach. Continued advances in minimally invasive surgery have led to shorter hospital stays and hastened recovery. Here we present our step by step guide and video to robotic-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty.
