Combined treatment of ureteropelvic junction obstruction and renal calculi with robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty and laser lithotripsy in children: Case report and non-systematic review of the literature. Int J Med Robot 2021; 17:e2246. [PMID: 33626232 DOI: 10.1002/rcs.2246] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2020] [Revised: 02/10/2021] [Accepted: 02/12/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE(S) The incidence of urinary tract stone disease is steadily increasing in both adult and paediatric populations. This condition develops due to different factors: dietary or metabolic alterations, infection, and congenital anatomic malformations. Standard indications and treatments for children are analogous to the ones indicated for adults. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, ureterorenoscopy and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) should be preferred to more invasive techniques. Moreover, the introduction of laparoscopic and robot-assisted laparoscopic approaches have improved surgical outcomes, lowering the bleeding risk with higher stone-free rates, even in complicated cases. Despite these well-known improvements, there are few reports regarding laparoscopic robot-assisted management for urinary tract stone disease in paediatric patients under the age of 10, especially with concomitant treatment of ureteropelvic junction obstruction and multiple calyceal stones. PATIENT AND METHOD(S) A 4-year-old child was referred for recurrent right abdominal flank pain, macroscopic haematuria and a previous history of urinary tract infections. A computed tomography of the abdomen showed right ureteropelvic junction obstruction associated with multiple unilateral stones located in the renal pelvis and in the interpolar renal calyces. Due to its complexity, we held a multidisciplinary meeting with paediatric surgeons and nephrologists to determine optimal treatment. As a result, a combined robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (LP) and renal calculi holmium laser lithotripsy using a digital flexible ureteroscope through an abdominal robotic trocar was performed. No post-surgical complications were recorded, and the patient was discharged within 48 h following surgery. At subsequent regular follow-up examinations over a period of 24 months, no signs of recurrence were detected for both ureteropelvic junction obstruction and stone disease. RESULT(S) Robot-assisted LP with concomitant laser lithotripsy is a reasonable treatment option for designated young paediatric patients with challenging ureteropelvic junction obstruction complicated by urolithiasis, especially in cases where stones are not amenable with standard procedures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Minimally invasive procedures have become the standard option for treatment of urinary stones; the use of more invasive techniques is not a common practice currently. This emergent technology is not always available and laparoscopy is the alternative option. There are few reports of laparoscopic management for urinary lithiasis in pediatric patients. This study is about the use of laparoscopic surgery combined with pyeloscopy as a feasible first-line treatment for pediatric urolithiasis in renal and proximal ureteral locations. PATIENTS AND METHODS We reviewed the records of 14 patients with renal and proximal ureteral stones who underwent laparoscopic pyelolithotomy and pyeloscopy in a period from January 2011 to July 2016. The outcome measures were needed for auxiliary procedures, treatment success, and complication rates. RESULTS A total of 16 procedures were carried out in 14 patients, 15 transperitoneal and 1 retroperitoneal laparoscopic pyelolithotomies were done. It was necessary to perform upper ureterolithotomies to remove ureteral stones in 2 cases. The holmium laser and/or pneumatic lithotripter were used to fragment staghorn calculi. Some of the complications were blood transfusion in 12.5% and self-limited urinary leak in 18.7% of the patients. The success rate after undergoing one procedure was 92.8%. CONCLUSIONS Transperitoneal or retroperitoneal laparoscopic lithotomy is a safe and feasible procedure for the treatment of pediatric urolithiasis. It can be an alternative to shock-wave lithotripsy and percutaneous nephrolithotomy when these are not feasible or possible.

Abstract
Background The introduction of endourological procedures such as percutaneous nephrolithotomy and ureterorenoscopy have led to a revolution in the the management of urinary stone disease. The indications for open stone surgery have been narrowed significantly, making it a second- or third-line treatment option. Aims and Objectives To study the safety and efficacy of retroperitoneal laparoscopic pyelolithotomy in retroperitoneal renal stone. We compared the results of laparoscopic and open surgery in terms of easy accessibility, operative period, renal injuries, and early recovery. Methods This prospective study was conducted on renal pelvic stone cases from January 2009 to February 2016 in Suchkhand Hospital, Agra, India. The study included a total of 1700 cases with the diagnosis of solitary renal pelvic stones. In group A - 850 cases - retroperitoneal laparoscopic pyelolithotomy was performed, while group B - 850 cases - underwent open pyelolithotomy. Results The mean operative time was less in group B than group A (74.83 min vs. 94.43 min) which was significant (p<0.001). The blood loss was less in the laparoscopic group than in the open group (63 mL vs. 103mL). There were statistically significant differences in the post-operative pain scores, and postoperative complications compared to group B (p<0.001). The mean hospital stay was less in group A (p<0.03), which was significant. Conclusion Laparoscopic surgery reduces analgesic requirements, hospital stay, and blood loss. The disadvantages include the reduced working space, the cost of equipment and the availability of a trained surgeon.

Abstract
The emergence of minimally invasive surgery about 20 years ago revolutionized pediatric urology. Advances in pediatric devices allowed the widespread use of minimally invasive techniques in almost the entire range of pediatric urology. In this context, laparoscopy and later retroperitoneoscopy were developed and applied in a wide spectrum of urological diseases. Both approaches have since presented benefits and disadvantages that have been documented in various series. However, few comparative studies have been conducted. The aim of this review is to compare the two approaches and establish which is preferable in each field of pediatric urology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Pediatric urolithiasis can cause significant morbidity and damage to the kidney, or even renal failure. We review our experience of the management of urolithiasis in pediatric patients at a tertiary referral center. PATIENTS AND METHODS We reviewed medical records of all children with urolithiasis who were diagnosed and managed at our center from August 2003 to October 2011. Management was planned according to stone burden and location. We noted and statistically analysed data about age, sex, stone burden, clinical features, management, metabolic abnormalities and recurrence. RESULTS There were 325 children with 378 stone sites. Age range was 3-17 (mean 8) years. The male to female ratio was 3:1. Most common presentation was abdominal pain in 257 children (79%), and the most common stone site was kidney in 215 (57%). Twenty-four (7%) children (stone burden ≤3 mm) were managed conservatively, while the rest received some form of intervention. Metabolic workup could be done in 154 (47%) children. A metabolic abnormality was seen in 67 (43%) children, normocalcemic hypercalciuria being the most common. Recurrence of urolithiasis was seen in 78 (24%) children after a mean follow-up of 3.2 (1-6) years, and was more common in those who had a metabolic abnormality or in whom small residual fragments were left in situ. CONCLUSIONS Availability of smaller instruments has led to safer use of percutaneous endoscopy and ureteroscopy in children, with results comparable to those in adults and an acceptable complication rate. The presence of a metabolic abnormality is quite common and is a cause of recurrence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the feasibility of laparoscopy in the treatment of pediatric urolithiasis, we report our experience with the transperitoneal laparoscopic removal of stones. METHOD Renal pelvic stones of size ≥1 cm on ultrasound were included for laparoscopic pyelolithotomy while smaller stones were managed with shock-wave lithotripsy monotherapy. Intrarenal stones, calyceal stones, complete staghorn stones, multiple stones and kidneys with intrarenal pelvis were excluded. Ureteric stones included for laparoscopic ureterolithotomy were of size ≥1 cm in the upper, mid or lower ureter, and smaller stones not responding to non-operative treatment. RESULTS A total of 22 procedures were performed: 12 pyelolithotomies, and 8 lower and 2 upper ureterolithotomies. Complete removal of calculi was accomplished in 21 (95.45%) procedures. Complications associated with laparoscopic lithotomy included urinoma (4.54%), failure (4.54%) and omental prolapse (4.54%). CONCLUSION Laparoscopic lithotomy is safe and feasible in pediatric urolithiasis with pyelic and ureteric stones, with minimal complications and failure rate.

Abstract
We aimed to review a current management of paediatric nephrolithiasis. The current literature, including our own experience on the treatment of paediatric nephrolithiasis was reviewed by MEDLINE/PubMed search. We have used in our search following keywords: urolithiasis, nephrolithiasis, paediatrics, surgical treatment, conservative management, ESWL, ureteroscopy, and open renal surgery. The search was limited to the English language literature during the period of time from 1990 to 2011. All papers were reviewed independently by all co-authors and only the manuscripts directly related to the reviewed subjects were included into the current review. Due to the high incidence of predisposing factors for urolithiasis in children and high stone recurrence rates, every child with urinary stone should be given a complete metabolic evaluation. Most stones in children can be managed by ESWL and endoscopic techniques. Paediatric stone disease is an important clinical problem in paediatric urology practice. Because of its recurrent nature, every effort should be made to discover the underlying metabolic abnormality so that it can be treated appropriately. Obtaining a stone-free state with interventional management and close follow-up are of utmost importance.

Abstract
AIM: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of retroperitoneal laparoscopic pyelolithotomy (RPPL) and its comparison with extra corporeal shock wave lithotripsy in the management of renal calculi. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study was carried out in the Department of surgery, Maulana Azad Medical College, New Delhi, India. The study included 86 cases of solitary renal calculi in the retroperitoneoscopic (RPPL) group and 82 cases in the shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) group. The parameters compared were stone clearance, hospital stay, number of postoperative visits, mean time to resume normal activities, number of man days lost, and analgesic requirement. RESULTS: The RPPL group showed better stone clearance, fewer hospital visits, low analgesic requirement, fewer number of man days lost, and early resumption of normal activities, as compared to the SWL group. CONCLUSIONS: Shock wave lithotripsy, being a noninvasive modality, is an established procedure all over the world. However RPPL achieves comparable or better results in high volume centers.

Abstract
The incidence of urolithiasis in children is increasing. Adequate knowledge of treatment modalities and surgical options is therefore essential for every pediatrician. Surgical approaches to urolithiasis in children continue to evolve with advancements in technology and sophistication of current equipment and techniques. Perhaps the most significant development in new techniques is the advent of robotic-assisted laparoscopy. This review, for the general pediatrician, summarizes the most recent pediatric data and guidelines for surgical approaches to treatment of urolithiasis.

Abstract
Cystinuria is an inherited autosomal-recessive disorder of renal reabsorption of the dibasic amino acids. It is the cause of about 6% of all kidney stones observed in children. Cystine is relatively insoluble at the physiological pH of urine. Cystine stones are characteristic and frequent recurrences are observed. We report on 4 cases and describe the initial presentation (obstructive renal failure, urinary sepsis, familial screening) and the medical and surgical management. Medical management is mainly based on hyperhydration and urine alkalinization. Long-term therapy with sulfhydryl agents to prevent formation of renal stones seems to be effective but adverse side effects are frequent, requiring the withdrawal of treatment. Urological management has evolved from surgical stone removal to minimally invasive procedures (extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, ureteroscopy).
