Bi-Institutional Comparison of Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Versus Open Ureteroureterostomy in the Pediatric Population.

摘要: Abstract Purpose: Ureteroureterostomy (UU) is a useful surgical option for the management of duplication anomalies as well obstructed single system ureters children. We aimed to evaluate safety, efficacy, and outcomes robot-assisted laparoscopic UU (RALUU) compared with open (OUU) in pediatric population. Patients Methods: A retrospective review was performed at two institutions including six surgeons' experience all cases RALUU OUU from January 2005 June 2014. Indications procedure included duplex systems an upper pole ectopic ureter, ureterocele or lower vesicoureteral reflux, obstruction system. Transureteroureterostomy, UU, major reconstruction where secondary were excluded. Results: There 25 19 included. All involved except proximal distal anastomoses kidneys. RALUUs more likely ...
