Context Over the last two decades, minimally invasive treatment options for ureteropelvic
junction obstruction (UPJO) have been developed and popularized. Objective To critically …

Importance There is an ever‐increasing drive to improve surgical patient outcomes. Given
the benefits which robotics has bestowed upon a wide range of industries, from vehicle …

Objective To critically analyse outcomes for robot‐assisted pyeloplasty (RAP) vs
conventional laparoscopic pyeloplasty (LP) or open pyeloplasty (OP) by systematic review …

In the last decade, management of congenital UPJ obstruction has become progressively
observational despite the lack of precise predictors of outcome. While it is clear that many …

Introduction Robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) has been gaining acceptance
among pediatric urologists. Over 300 have been described in the literature, but few studies …

Purpose To compare the outcomes of open pyeloplasty (OP), laparoscopy-assisted
extracorporeal (LEXP), and robotic-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) for …

Background Although shown to be safe in infancy, robotic-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty
(RALP) for ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is most commonly performed in older …

Purpose: Cumulative evidence shows that robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery is safe and at
least as efficacious as open surgery for several pediatric urological procedures. Scars …

While robotic surgery has shown clear utility and advantages in the adult population, its role
in pediatrics remains controversial. Pediatric-sized robotic instruments and equipment are …

Background There is still a lack of knowledge regarding the natural course of resolution of
hydronephrosis after pyeloplasty, and no consensus exists on how resolution of …
