Abstract
We appreciate the thoughtful comment on the current study. 1 McAleer I.M. Long-term outcomes of robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty for ureteropelvic junction obstruction [Editorial Comment]. Urology. 2016; PubMed Google Scholar Although perioperative complications are not the emphasis of the current study, it is helpful to analyze them more closely. The urine leak rate was much higher in the stentless group (6/25, 24.0%) when compared to the stented group (3/104, 2.9%, P < .001). When considering only stented pyeloplasties in our dataset, the 8-year success rate increased to 96.3% from 91.5%. All stentless pyeloplasties were performed prior to 2012, and our current practice is to leave a stent for 4 weeks.
