junction obstruction (UPJO) have been developed and popularized. Objective To critically …

Purpose We report the results of laparoscopic vascular hitching (LVH) in a series of children
with ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) owing to aberrant lower polar crossing …

Background Congenital hydronephrosis due to intrinsic or extrinsic uretero-pelvic-junction
(UPJ) obstruction (UPJO) is a common problem in childhood UPJO may be caused by …

Purpose In children, ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is mostly caused by intrinsic
factors (IUPJO); extrinsic UPJO are rare and often due to crossing vessels (CVs). Methods …

OBJECTIVE: To choose between laparoscopic “vascular hitch”(VH) and dismembered
pyeloplasty (DP) in treatment of aberrant lower pole crossing vessels potentially responsible …

Background For the treatment of ureterovascular pelviureteric junction obstruction (PUJO),
transposition of lower pole crossing vessels (LPCV) has been described as an alternative to …

Introduction Pediatric ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) due to an extrinsic crossing
vessel (CV) is rare and often remains undiagnosed preoperatively. Vascular hitch …

Background Horseshoe kidney (HSK) represents a unique challenge for performing
pyeloplasty due to its anomalous anatomy. Our study aimed to report our results in treating …

OBJECTIVE: To report clinical outcomes for laparoscopic pyeloplasty (LP) in children
compared with open pyeloplasty (OP) and literature findings. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In …

Aims The standard treatment for pelviureteric junction obstruction (PUJO) has been
