FEASIBILITY OF ROBOT-ASSISTED LAPAROSCOPIC PYELOPLASTY IN PATIENTS WITH PREVIOUS ABDOMINAL SURGERY
Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction: Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is a common urological condition that may lead to kidney function loss if untreated. Robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) offers significant advantages over traditional methods. Our study aims to evaluate the outcomes of robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty in patients with previous abdominal surgery. Materials and Methods: This descriptive study reports a series of cases from January 2017 to June 2024 involving robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty performed on patients with previous abdominal surgery. Results: RALS demonstrated a high success rate (96.2%), with reduced hospital stays and complication rates compared to traditional techniques. Conclusion: Robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery is a safe and effective alternative to conventional methods for managing UPJO.
