Abstract
Objective: To compare the efficacy of robotic-assisted single-incision-plus- one-port laparoscopic pyeloplasty (R-SILP+1) with single-incision laparoscopic pyeloplasty (SILP) in pediatric ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO). Methods: The clinical data of 47 children with UPJO who underwent surgery from October 2020 to September 2022 in the Department of Pediatric Surgery of Fujian Provincial Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. According to the surgical method chosen by parents, the children were divided into R-SILP+1 group and SILP group. Baseline data, operative time, intraoperative anastomosis time, volume of blood loss, postoperative hospitalization time, complications, total costs, preoperative and postoperative renal parenchymal thickness (PT), anterior posterior diameter of renal pelvis (APD), and differential renal function (DRF) before and after operation were compared between the two groups, and the clinical efficacy of the two kinds of operation was evaluated. Results: Among the 47 children, 27 were in R-SILP+1 group, including 16 males and 11 females, aged (6.6±3.5) years; 20 were in SILP group, including 12 males and 8 females, aged (6.5±3.5) years. The operations were successful in both groups without conversion to open operation. There were no significant differences between the two groups in baseline data, volume of blood loss, complications, APD and PT at postoperative 6 months, APD, PT and DRF at postoperative 12 months (all P>0.05). Compared with the SILP group, the operative time [(153.0±14.4) vs (189.9±32.6) minutes, P<0.001], intraoperative anastomosis time [(68.8±16.8) vs (97.5±12.0) minutes, P<0.001], postoperative hospitalization time [(6.0±1.3) vs (9.0±1.3) d, P<0.001] were shorter, but the total cost was higher[(57 390±7 664) vs (30 183±4 219) yuan RMB, P<0.001]. Conclusions: Compared with the SILP group, R-SILP+1 can achieve considerable efficacy in treating pediatric UPJO, and has certain advantages in shortening operative time, intraoperative anastomosis time, and postoperative hospitalization time. However, the cost is high.
