Laparoscopic transvesical ureteral reimplantation with or without robot assisted surgical devices is being developed as an alternative to open surgery. We sought review our experience extravesical robotic technique, determine whether postoperative voiding dysfunction might be avoided pelvic plexus visualization and evaluate the overall feasibility of this approach surgery.A total 41 patients underwent for bilateral vesicoureteral reflux. The were divided into groups based on bladder capacity...

Robot assisted pyeloplasty is emerging as an effective tool for treatment of ureteropelvic junction obstruction in the pediatric population. However, access needed procedure difficult small abdominal cavity infant. We present our experience with infant robot pyeloplasty, along some lessons learned that render this possible these patients.Nine children 3 to 8 months old (mean 5.6) underwent transperitoneal using da Vinci Surgical System. All patients Anderson-Hynes dismembered without renal...

Laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty is an acceptable option for UPJ obstruction in the pediatric population. We report our initial experience with this approach infants.Eight infants 3 to 5 months old (mean 4.5) underwent transperitoneal laparoscopic ureteropelvic junction obstruction. All patients renal pelvis tapering. Two concomitant pyelolithotomy and 1 contralateral nephrectomy. Outcome measures included operative time, length of hospital stay, resolution by ultrasonography DRI.Mean...
Little is known about the learning curve of robotic surgery for surgeons in training. We hypothesized that pediatric urology fellows could attain proficiency pyeloplasty, defined as operative time equivalent to an experienced surgeon, within 2-year frame fellowship.From 2006 2010 we performed a prospective cohort study pyeloplasty done by 4 and 1 attending surgeon. recorded times surgical outcomes total 20 consecutive pyeloplasties (80 cases) random sample Multivariate linear regression was...
We determined the efficacy and potential complications of endoscopic incision balloon dilation with double stenting for treatment primary obstructive megaureter in children.We prospectively reviewed cases requiring repair due to pyelonephritis, renal calculi and/or loss function. A total 17 patients were identified as candidates endoscopy. Infants excluded from study. All underwent cystoscopy retrograde ureteropyelography start procedure. In segments less than 2 cm was performed, those 3...
Background and Purpose: Laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty is an acceptable option for ureteropelvic junction (UPS) obstruction in the pediatric population. We compared our results with nondismembered laparoscopic pyeloplasty. Patients Methods: A series of 26 children between ages 8 months 15 years (mean age 5 years) underwent transperitoneal not caused by a crossing vessel. Nineteen had Anderson-Hynes (AH), while remaining seven Heineke-Mikulicz fashion (HM). The outcome measures were...
We present our experience with transperitoneal laparoscopic pyelolithotomy in pediatric patients whom percutaneous renal access failed and the stone burden warranted open intervention.A approach was used for 8 3 months to 10 years old (mean age 4 years). Percutaneous secondary a nondilated system and/or an occluding lower pole calculus. Inclusion criteria were occlusion of shock wave lithotripsy or greater than 2.5 cm2. A posterior pelviotomy made. Stones pelvis removed rigid graspers under...
Ureterocalicostomy is a potential option in patients with ureteropelvic junction obstruction and significant lower pole calicectasis. It often reserved for failed pyeloplasty minimal pelvis, or an exaggerated intrarenal pelvis. We present our technique of robotic ureterocalicostomy the pediatric population as primary modality collecting system not amenable to standard dismembered pyeloplasty, secondary obstruction.Nine 3 15 years old (mean age 6.5) underwent transperitoneal obstruction. Six...
We evaluated the efficacy and safety profile of low-dose (4-5 mcg/kg) intrathecal morphine for postoperative pain management after various surgical procedures in children.We reviewed service database medical records patients who received analgesia at The Children's Hospital Philadelphia between October 2003 March 2006. Patients had been prospectively followed 24-48 h administration.The 187 were examined. mean age was 5.6 +/- 5.1 yr (median 4.0, interquartile range [IQR] 1.0-10.0). median...
We suggest that when surgical correction is considered to treat a duplicated collecting system with well-functioning moieties, laparoscopic approach at the renal level feasible even in cases requiring complex reconstruction.Six children between ages of 4 months and 10 years (mean age 5.2 years) presented urinary-tract infection, incontinence, or pain underwent transperitoneal reconstruction for duplex pathology moieties preserved function. Five patients upper pole-to-lower pole...
Robotic technology has been increasingly utilized for complicated reconstructive surgeries in pediatric urology, such as ureteroureterostomy (UU). The literature is limited regarding the performance of minimally invasive UU children, and existing published series utilize indwelling ureteral stents. We sought to report on our experience with robot-assisted laparoscopic (RAL)-UU using a temporary catheter duplex systems ectopia.A retrospective chart review was performed all patients who...
