Objective: To evaluate prospectively the results obtained in 16 patients undergoing laparoscopic pyeloplasty through transperitoneal access. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in the department of urology, BSMMU, Dhaka between the periods of March 2013 and June 2014, sixteen patients between 15 and 48 years old, were treated for ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) via a transperitoneal laparoscopy. All patients had clinical symptoms of urinary obstruction and hydronephrosis were confirmed by imaging methods. Anderson-Hynes dismembered pyeloplasty was performed in all patients. Patients were clinically and imaging evaluated in the postoperative period at 6 and 12 weeks. Results: Most of the patients were male (68.75%) and female were 31.25%. The mean operative time was 127.37 (±15.67) minutes ranged from 95 to 240 minutes. Pain score in first postoperative day and third postoperative day following pyeloplasty were 20.87 (±6.83) and 4.75 (±3.34) respectively. The mean hospital stay was 4.25 (±1.34) days. Anomalous vessels were identified in 4 patients, intrinsic stenosis in 12 patients. Postoperative urine leakage and UTI were seen 18.75%, 12.50% subject respectively. Split renal function and GFR were significantly improved (p<0.05) and improvement of renal functional outcome was 87.50%. Conclusion: Laparoscopic pyeloplasty had the advantages like less postoperative pain and shorter hospital stay. Bangladesh Journal of Urology, Vol. 19, No. 2, July 2016 p.59-63

Objective: The open Anderson–Hynes procedure has an overall success rate of 90% for ureteropelvic junction obstruction. Laparoscopic pyeloplasty (LP) was developed to reduce morbidity and hospital stay while preserving the excellent results. We report on the results of our experience with laparoscopic pyeloplasty.Methods: Between January 2001 and May 2006, 77 consecutive patients underwent LP performed by one of 4 surgeons at our institution. Patients were reassessed with ultrasound (U/S) or intravenous pyelogram (IVP) at 6 weeks. Diuretic renal scan and U/S or IVP were performed at 6 months, and subsequent follow-up included a U/S or IVP as well as clinical assessment. Patients were assessed for pain and hydronephrosis on radiologic imaging, clearance on diuretic renal scan (T1/2) and differential renal function.Results: We evaluated 73 patients. The mean patient age was 38 years (range 16–71 yr), the mean operating time was 218 minutes (range 110–409 min), and the mean blood loss was 57 mL (range 25–250 mL). Mean hospital stay was 3.0 days (range 2–7 d). The success rate was 90.4%, and failures were mainly due to poor function after surgery (3 patients). Pyelolithotomy was performed concomitantly on 6 patients, which on average extended operative time by 36 minutes.Conclusion: Our success rates are consistent with the LP experience of other centres and are comparable with rates for the open technique. Patients had short hospital stays, and complications were negligible. With experienced surgeons, LP should be the first-line treatment for ureteropelvic junction obstruction.

Background: Historically open pyeloplasty has been regarded as the gold standard for the surgical management of ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO). The treatment of this condition has evolved considerably over the past two decades resulting in new surgical approaches. One of these approaches is laparoscopic pyeloplasty,this technique aimed to achieve the same results as open surgery,with lower rates of morbidity and complications.  Aim of the study: To compare the operative time,hospital stay,analgesic use,perioperative complications,and success rate between laparoscopic and open pyeloplasty in Al Diwaniya Teaching Hospital. Patients & Methods: From October 2014 to October 2016,40 patients (26 males and 14 females) with Ureteropelvic junction obstruction who had been admitted to the urology unit of Al Diwaniya Teaching Hospital were enrolled in this study. Their ages ranged from 10 to 44 years with a mean age of 24 years. The patients were selected on the basis of standard indications for PUJO repair. The patients were assigned into two groups. Twenty patients underwent transperitoneal laparoscopic pyeloplasty and 20 patients underwent open surgery. The choice between the two types of operation was selected according to surgeon's preference (only surgeon who has enough experience with laparoscopic surgeries perform laparoscopic pyeloplasty,while the other performed open surgery). Preoperative evaluations were done using abdominal ultrasound and IVP. Laboratory tests included urinalysis,urine culture,blood urea,and serum creatinine. Blood group was determined. We compared the operative time,complications rates,hospital stay and success rate of the two groups.Mean operative time was 2 hours and 3 hours in open and laparoscopic pyeloplasty groups,respectively. Mean hospital stay was shorter (24 hours) in the laparoscopic group and (48 hours) in open group. Mean follow-up period was 9 months. Postoperative complication rates were 20 % and 30 % in laparoscopic and open pyeloplasty groups,respectively. Success rates were 95% and 90 % for open and laparoscopic pyeloplasty groups,respectively. Repeated surgery was performed in 2 patients of laparoscopy and 1 of open pyeloplasty groups due to recurrence of stricture.The safety and efficacy of laparoscopic pyeloplasty is comparable to that of open pyeloplasty,with better cosmetic results and shorter hospital stay,therefore laparoscopic pyeloplasty can replace open surgery and may be considered the gold standard technique for the treatment of ureteropelvic junction obstruction in expert hands.

Introduction: We report our experience with laparoscopic management of ureteropelvic junction obstruction in horseshoe kidneys.Methods: Between February 2004 and March 2014, 15 patients with horseshoe kidneys and symptomatic ureteropelvic junction obstruction underwent laparoscopic management at our national referral centre. Depending on the anatomy and presence of obtrusive vessels or isthmus, we performed either dismembered, Scardino or Foley YV pyeloplasty, or Hellstrom vessel transposition. Patients were initially evaluated by ultrasonography, then diuretic scintiscan at 4 to 6 months, and followed by yearly clinical and sonographic exams.Results: This study included 11 male and 4 female patients between the ages of 4 to 51 year (average 17.7). The left kidney was involved in 12 patients (80%). Operation time was 129 minutes (range: 90–186), and patients were discharged within 2.8 days (range: 1–6). Although 8 (53.3%) patients had crossing vessels, of which 6 required transposing, the Hellstrom technique was solely used in 3 cases, of which notably 1 case failed to resolve and required laparoscopic Hynes within the next year. Eight cases underwent dismembered pyeloplasty, 2 Foley YV, 1 Scardino flap and 1 required isthmectomy and vessel suspension. At the mean follow-up of 60 (range: 18–120) months, the overall success rate was 93.3%.Conclusions: To our knowledge, this represents the largest report on laparoscopic pyeloplasty for horseshoe kidneys, providing the longest follow-up. Our findings confirm prior reports supporting laparoscopy and furthermore show that despite the prevalence of crossing vessels, transposition alone is seldom sufficient.

Introduction Surgery for ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is performed by both pediatric surgeons (PS) and urologists (URO). The aim of this study was to analyze treatment modalities for UPJO and results in relation to the surgical technique and the operating discipline in Germany. Materials and Methods Data of patients aged 0 to 18 years were extracted from a major public health insurance (covering ∼5.7 million clients) during 2009 to 2016 and were analyzed for sociodemographic variables, surgical technique, and treating discipline. Logistic regression analysis was performed for the risk of a complication within the first postoperative year. Results A total of 229 children (31.0% female) were included. Laparoscopic pyeloplasty (LP) was performed in 58 (25.3%) patients (8.6 ± 6.4 years), and open pyeloplasty (OP) was applied in 171 (74.7%; 4.6 ± 5.9 years). LP was the dominant technique in females (p < 0.02); males preferentially underwent OP (p < 0.02). Length of hospital stay was 4.3 days (p = 0.0005) shorter in LP compared with that in OP, especially in children ≤ 2 years (6.7 days, p = 0.007). PS operated on 162 children (70.7%), and URO performed surgery on 67 patients (29.3%). The mean age of children operated by PS (3.5 ± 4.7 years) was significantly younger compared with that operated by URO (10.8 ± 6.5 years, p < 0.0001). Complication rates were independent of surgical technique or treating specialty. Conclusion In Germany, UPJO was treated by LP in 25.3% of patients, which was associated with a shorter length of stay, especially in children ≤ 2 years. Complication rates were independent of the operating specialty and surgical technique. Therefore, LP should be further promoted for the treatment of UPJO in small children.

Introduction: Miniaturization of endoscopic instruments has gained wide popularity in the treatment of renal calculi. Retrograde intra-renal surgery and holmium laser in combination has already proven its superiority when compared to other modalities in the treatment of renal calculi. This study was conducted to assess the outcome of retrograde intra-renal surgery in renal stone disease.Materials and Methods: This retrospective study analyzed the outcome of retrograde intra-renal surgery in renal stone less than 2 cm size in the adults above 18 years of age from September 2018 to August 2019 at Patan Hospital, Nepal. The outcome was assessed descriptively on postoperative pain and fever, stone localization, stone size, stone clearance, urosepsis, operative time, hospital stay, mortality, need of the second procedure.Results: A total of 62 patients underwent retrograde intrarenal surgery, out of which 48 cases were included. The mean age of the study population was 32.4± 14 years (19-68 years). Similarly, the mean operative time was 68± 12 (48-124 minutes) and mean hospital-stay was 3.2± 1.1 days. Postoperative pain and fever were observed in 14 (29.16%) & 4(8.33%) patients respectively. Hematuria occurred in 6(12.50%) and urosepsis in 2(4.16%) of the patients. Complete stone clearance was achieved in 34(70.83%) and residual stones were present in 8(16.66%) and clinically insignificant radiological fragments were present in 6(12.50%) patients.Conclusions: Retrograde intrarenal surgery is a technically safe and effective procedure for the treatment of renal calculi, with minimal post-surgical morbidity.

Objective. Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is a common cause of symptomatic ureteral obstruction. The aim of this study is to assess the outcome of laparoscopic pyeloplasty in patients with UPJO. Patients and Methods. Medical reports of 47 UPJO patients treated with laparoscopic pyeloplasty were retrospectively analysed. All patients were recruited from our center in the period 2004–2011. Results. We evaluated 47 patients. Mean age was 36 years and mean hospital stay 3.6 days. 42 (79%) of the patients had pain and 46 (98%) were diagnosed with hydronephrosis. 19 patients (40%) had a renal function below 40% of the affected kidney and 49% had impaired renal scan drainage. Postoperative significant improvement in pain score and renal scan drainage was found in 92% and 47% of the patients, respectively. Improvement of renal function > 10% was found in 11 patients (23%); the function remained stable in 31 patients (66%) and deteriorated > 10% in 5 patients (11%). We found no correlation between sex or age and the outcome. Conclusion. Laparoscopic pyeloplasty for UPJO leads to relief of pain and preserved or improved renal function in the majority of the patients. Overall laparoscopic pyeloplasty is an efficient treatment for UPJO.

Objective: The aim of this study was to scintigraphically investigate the preoperative and postoperative renal functions of patients operated due to ureteropelvic junction obstruction, discuss the factors affecting the indication of surgery and emphasize the important points to consider during scintigraphic examination. Method: We retrospectively analyzed pediatric cases who underwent pyeloplasty due to ureteropelvic junction obstruction. Patients operated for primary ureteropelvic junction obstruction whose preoperative and postoperative dynamic scintigraphy results could be obtained were included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups as those with <50% and ≥50% ipsilateral differentiated renal function. The difference between the groups was considered statistically significant when p<0.05. Results: The median ages of 36 cases in <50% DRF group and 24 cases in ≥50% DRF group were 7.7 months and 8.5 months, respectively. The mean ipsilateral differentiated renal function values of the main groups were significantly different from each other both in the preoperative and postoperative periods. The changes within the two main groups were also analyzed, yielding significant differences. Ipsilateral differentiated renal function changes on a general, group and subgroup basis, and preoperative ultrasound findings of the ipsilateral kidney in subgroups were revealed. Conclusion: Increased hydronephrosis degree and renal pelvis anterior-posterior diameter are closely related to overestimated ipsilateral kidney function. For deciding on surgery in patients with ureteral obstruction, scintigraphic examinations make sense with the help of US and the clinical condition of the patient.
