Parapelvic cyst: A rare cause of ureteropelvic junction obstruction in a pediatric patient managed with robotic cyst decortication
We report a case of a right parapelvic renal cyst causing intermittent ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO).Robot-assisted laparoscopic pyelotomy and ileal ureter substitution: video demonstration
While robot-assisted laparoscopic (RAL) ileal ureter substitution is a known treatment option for managing recurrent ureteral stricture, video documentation of this procedure is lacking. This article aims to visually demonstrate the surgical technique used in an RAL pyelotomy and ileal ureter substitution.Robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty in infants using 5-mm instruments
Utilization of the robotic approach to pyeloplasty continues to grow in the field of pediatric urology. Adoption in the infant population has perhaps been the slowest because of the limited operative domain and relatively large instruments.Ureteropelvic junction obstruction and calyceal diverticulum in a child with Turner syndrome and horseshoe kidney
Laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty for ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction is considered to be a routine procedure in many pediatric surgical centers. UPJ obstruction is known to be associated with horseshoe kidney and several reports on successful laparoscopic repair in such cases exist. The case of a 9-month-old girl with Turner syndrome is reported. A horseshoe kidney with grade 4 hydronephrosis on the left side was diagnosed by ultrasound during the neonatal period. MAG3 diuretic renography and dynamic magnetic resonance imaging nephrography revealed a differential renal function of 31% and 69% on the left and right side, respectively.
