Abstract

Open Anderson-Hynes dismembered pyeloplasty was the criterion standard for ureteropelvic junction obstruction. Laparoscopic pyeloplasty was comparable to open pyeloplasty in success rates while laparoscopic pyeloplasty offered the advantages of decreased morbidity, shorter hospital stay, and quicker recovery. While laparoscopic pyeloplasty was accompanied with the slow learning curve due to technically demanding and time-consuming intracorporal suturing, which has limited its widespread use. Robotic pyeloplasty and laparoscopic pyeloplasty were comparable regarding complication rate, success rate and operative time.
