Re-do pyeloplasty after failed open or laparoscopic ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction correction can be a challenging procedure because of scar formation at the previous anastomosis site and decreased vascularity ureter. This study compared perioperative parameters for pediatric robot-assisted (RAL) primary re-do pyeloplasties with an emphasis on intra-operative parameters.We RAL procedures performed by single surgeon tertiary care children's hospital both (UPJO) recurrent UPJO over...
Fracture of the first rib with ensuing callus formation is a rare cause thoracic outlet syndrome. We report case 17-year-old female volleyball player who presented months chronic arm pain. Radiographic imaging demonstrated nonunion fracture rib. Physical therapy had been unsuccessful in relieving pain, and surgical management was performed resection through transaxillary approach complete resolution symptoms. Inflammation surrounding such fractures may destroy tissue planes, making...
Abstract Purpose The use of postoperative prophylactic antibiotics in pediatric upper urinary tract reconstruction remains controversial. In this study, we examined whether low dose administered following pyeloplasty reduce the incidence febrile infections at our institution. As a secondary outcome, those patients with infection, additional analysis was performed to better quantify which patient population benefits most from antibiotics. Methods Institutional review board approval (IRB)...

Retroperitoneal foreign bodies are rare indications for exploratory surgery. We present a case of 19-year-old male with abdominal pain after fall who was found to have linear metallic object adjacent the right ureter and inferior vena cava. Given patient's discomfort, he elected robotic exploration retroperitoneum, which carried out successfully Da Vinci Si® robot. This demonstrates feasibility retroperitoneal body retrieval very small object.
Abstract Background: The use of postoperative prophylactic antibiotics in pediatric upper urinary tract reconstruction remains controversial. In this study, we elected to examine if post dismember pyeloplasty reduce the incidence clinically symptomatic infections (UTIs) our institution. As a secondary outcome, also which patient population benefits most from low dose antibiotics. Methods: Institutional review board approval (IRB) was obtained. A retrospective study performed patients who...
Interactive simulation training during residency is a rapidly growing initiative due to work-hour restrictions, improved model fidelity and an evolving technological field. We designed implemented curriculum for urology residents. The objective of this study was assess its impact on trainee confidence knowledge.This prospective nonblinded case series analyzing the use education with entrance exit surveys. developed monthly workshops featuring fundamental urological procedures skills....
