Abstract
To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of robotic-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) for treating pediatric ureteropelvic junction obstruction through an extensive comparison of RALP, open pyeloplasty (OP) and laparoscopic pyeloplasty (LP). We conducted a comprehensive search of the following databases: PubMed, Excerpta Medica Database, Cochrane Library, Web of Science database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Data, and China Biology Medical Disc. Baseline data were compared, the sources of heterogeneity were assessed, and publication biases were detected. This study was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42023415667). 26 studies with 6074 cases performing pyeloplasty were included, and the overall data are comparable. Our analysis showed no significant difference in success rate and postoperative complications between RALP and OP, and RALP is associated with a shorter length of stay (LOS) (MD - 1.00 95%CI - 1.45 to - 0.55, p < 0.0001). In addition, compared to LP, RALP was associated with a shorter anastomosis time (MD - 18.35 95%CI - 29.88 to - 6.82, p = 0.002) and fewer postoperative analgesics (MD - 0.09 95% CI - 0.18 to - 0.01, p = 0.03); however, RALP has a longer operative time (OT) (MD 52.39, 95% CI 39.75-65.03, p < 0.00001) and higher cost. The heterogeneity of OT may be influenced by factors, such as age and region, while the heterogeneity of LOS primarily stems from regional differences. No significant publication bias was detected. Our meta-analysis shows that RALP can be an alternative to OP and LP with a high success rate, minimal postoperative complications, and shorter LOS. In addition, RALP contributes to reduce anastomosis time and postoperative analgesic drugs. However, further well-designed, large-scale, randomized controlled trials with additional parameters are needed to conduct a more comprehensive analysis of heterogeneity.

Comparative study of different surgical approaches for treatment of UPJ obstruction according to the degree/severity of hydronephrosis factor. Front Pediatr 2022; 10:966292. [PMID: 35989992 PMCID: PMC9386036 DOI: 10.3389/fped.2022.966292] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2022] [Accepted: 07/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy of two different surgical approaches during and after pyeloplasty according to the degree/severity of hydronephrosis factor. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty child patients with UPJ obstruction admitted to our hospital from August 2019 to October 2021 were collected. Patients who underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RPLP) were enrolled into Group A (n = 20), while those who received transperitoneal laparoscopic pyeloplasty (TLP) were selected as Group B (n = 40). Clinical parameters, including gender, age, laterality of UPJ obstruction, degree/severity of hydronephrosis, body weight, operation time, drainage tube indwelling time, complete oral feeding time, and length of hospital stay, were compared between the two groups. RESULTS All 60 child patients were operated upon successfully without conversion to open surgery. There were no statistically significant differences in gender, age, laterality of UPJ obstruction, and body weight between the two groups, while the operation time of TLP was shorter than that of RPLP, indicating a statistically significant difference (P < 0.001). The differences in complete oral feeding time, drainage tube indwelling time, and length of hospital stay were statistically significant between the two groups, and RPLP was superior to TLP in terms of postoperative recovery time (P < 0.001). A stratified comparison showed that there were no statistically significant differences in anteroposterior diameter ≤ 20 mm, while there were statistically significant differences in anteroposterior diameter >20 mm. Hydronephrosis is reviewed after 3 months of the operation, degree/severity of hydronephrosis have been reduced. CONCLUSION Both RPLP and TLP are safe and feasible in the treatment of UPJ obstruction, and their overall surgical effects are equivalent. For child patients with anteroposterior diameter ≤ 20 mm, RPLP is available, while patients with anteroposterior diameter >20 mm, TLP is recommended.

Pak J Med Sci 2021; 37:1768-1774. [PMID: 34912393 PMCID: PMC8613025 DOI: 10.12669/pjms.37.7.4205] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2021] [Revised: 06/07/2021] [Accepted: 06/28/2021] [Indexed: 11/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives: To compare the therapeutic effect of retroperitoneoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty and open ureteropelvic junction plasty on the ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) in children. Methods: After the retrospective analysis of clinical data, 78 children with ureteropelvic junction stenosis treated from January, 2012 to June, 2018 were divided into two groups: OP (open pyeloplasty) group (38 cases) and LP (laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty) group (40 cases) according to the surgical methods. The operation time, intraoperative bleeding volume, postoperative length of stay (LOS), postoperative complication rate, postoperative hydronephrosis improvement and other indicators were compared between the two groups. Results: All patients underwent surgery successfully, without conversion to open surgery in LP group. The incidence of postoperative urine leakage and the recovery of hydronephrosis between LP group and OP group 12 months after operation showed no statistically significant difference (P>0.05). The intraoperative bleeding volume, the incidence of postoperative retroperitoneal hematoma, and the postoperative LOS in LP group were lower than those in OP group, while the operation time was longer than that in the OP group, with statistically significant difference (P<0.05). Conclusion: Retroperitoneoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty had similar effect with open dismembered pyeloplasty, but faster recovery and fewer complications, so it has become the preferred treatment method for UPJO in children.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the objective was to present our initial experience and evaluate the feasibility of the novel comprehensive modified laparoscopic pyeloplasty (CMLP) technique based on membrane anatomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-eight patients underwent CMLP from February 2016 to October 2020. CMLP involves the following: dissection of the ureter was based on the fascia or fusion fascia formed by embryonic development. The ureter was separated from the ureteral sheath, and the pelvis and ureter were incised with incomplete amputation. The first stitch was placed between the lower point of the spatulated ureter and the lowest corner of the renal pelvis to ensure correct orientation of the anastomosis; anastomosis of the renal pelvis and ureter was performed using the touchless technique. RESULTS All CMLPs were completed successfully without conversion. The mean overall operating time was 230.96 min. The median estimated blood loss was 50.00 (interquartile range 20.00-57.50) mL. The average postoperative hospital stay was 9.31 days. The average follow-up time was 24.73 months. No major complications occurred. In 1 case, revision laparoscopic pyeloplasty was performed, but the obstruction persisted after double J stent removal, so ultimately, the double J stent required regular replacement. Another asymptomatic patient with hydronephrosis experienced failed treatment and is still under follow-up. The overall success rate was 95.83% (46/48). The success rate in patients with recurrent ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) was 87.5% (7/8). CONCLUSIONS CMLP is a practical and effective treatment option for UPJO with a high success rate. An advantage of CMLP is the clear surgical field.

Abstract
Introduction: Success rate of laparoscopic pyeloplasty for ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) in children is comparable with open pyeloplasty. Prolonged ileus and injury to adjacent viscera more often occurred in transperitoneal approach; however, longer operation time is noted in retroperitoneal approach. Purpose: This study presented a hybrid retroperitoneoscopic pyeloplasty (HRP), for congenital UPJO in infants weighing <10 kg. Materials and Methods: From February 2017 to June 2020, 10 HRP procedures were performed in 9 patients by 1 surgeon. Retroperitoneal dissection of the renal pelvis and the upper third ureter was first performed, followed by extracorporeal suturing for pyeloureterostomy. Results: Mean operative age and body weight were 4.23 ± 3.69 months and 6.18 ± 1.57 kg. Operative, CO2 inflation, and extracorporeal suture time were 147.9 ± 39.5, 40.6 ± 11.2, and 62.9 ± 26.1 minutes, respectively. Surgical outcome was confirmed by renal ultrasound and diuretic renogram. Postoperative follow-up duration was 15.2 ± 7.7 months. Three patients had postoperative febrile urinary tract infection and recovered after antibiotic treatment. Conclusion: In infants or smaller children with UPJO, the HRP procedure may be considered as an effective and minimally invasive alternative with shorter learning curve for inexperienced surgeons.

Transperitoneal versus retroperitoneal approaches of pyeloplasty in management of ureteropelvic junction obstruction: A meta-analysis. Asian J Surg 2021; 45:1-7. [PMID: 33867239 DOI: 10.1016/j.asjsur.2021.03.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2020] [Revised: 03/04/2021] [Accepted: 03/26/2021] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the benefits and safety of transperitoneal and retroperitoneal pyeloplasty for ureteropelvic junction obstruction by a meta-analysis. We searched the databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library and Embase database from their inception to December 1st, 2020. Relevant literatures comparing retroperitoneal pyeloplasty with transperitoneal pyeloplasty were identified. A meta-analysis was conducted with Revman 5.3. The main outcomes included success rate, operative time, hospital stay, conversion rate of open surgery, overall complications, and detailed postoperative complications/indicators. 15 studies with 1881 patients were included. The results revealed that there were no significant differences between two approaches in success rate [OR = 1.51, 95%CI (0.94, 2.41), p = 0.09], hospital stay [MD = 0.21, 95%CI (-0.12, 0.54), p = 0.21] and overall complications [OR = 1.07, 95%CI (0.76, 1.50), p = 0.69]. The retroperitoneal approach was associated with longer operative time [MD = -26.91, 95%CI (-40.97, -12.84), p < 0.001], higher conversion rate [OR = 0.23, 95%CI (0.11, 0.47), p < 0.001] than the transperitoneal approach. As for the detailed postoperative complications/indicators, there were no significant differences between two approaches in the urinary leak, mild hematuria, fever, UPJO recurrence, infection and subcutaneous emphysema, as well as split renal function, renal pelvis anteroposterior diameter. The funnel plots showed that there were no obvious publication biases in our analysis. Therefore, we concluded that transperitoneal and retroperitoneal approaches had similar benefits and safety in success rate, hospital stay, overall complications and detailed postoperative complications/indicators. However, retroperitoneal was associated with longer operative time and higher conversion rate than transperitoneal approach. With the limitations of our study, additional high-quality studies are still essential for further evaluation.

Abstract
Objective: To present our primary experience of robotic-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) for severe ureteropelvis junction obstruction (UPJO) infants under 3 months. Methods: We performed a retrospective study of 9 infants under 3 months who underwent RALP for severe UPJO between April 2017 and March 2019 in our center. The severe UPJO was defined as infants with severe hydronephrosis (Society of Fetal Urology grades III or IV, anteroposterior diameter >3 cm or split renal function <40% or T 1/2 >20 min) involving bilateral, solitary kidney, or contralateral renal hypoplasia UPJO at the same time. All clinical, perioperative, and postoperative information was collected. Results: There were four bilateral UPJO cases, two solitary kidney UPJO cases and three unilateral UPJO with contralateral renal hypoplasia cases included. One single surgeon performed RALP on all of the infants. The mean age of the infants was 1.62 ± 0.54 months. The mean operative time was 109.55 ± 10.47 min. The mean estimated blood loss was 19.29 ± 3.19 ml, and the mean length of hospital stay was 5.57 ± 0.73 days. According to the ultrasonography results, all patients had a significant recovery of renal function at 12 months after the operation. Conclusions: To maximize the protection of renal function, early RALP is a safe and feasible option for the treatment of severe UPJO in infants under 3 months.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine differences in perioperative outcomes between retroperitoneal and transperitoneal approaches for laparoscopic pyeloplasty (LP) to manage pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction (PUJO) through a meta-analysis of comparative studies. METHODS A systematic search was performed in January 2020. Comparative studies were evaluated according to Cochrane Collaboration recommendations. Assessed outcomes included success and complication rates, conversion to open surgery, operative time (OT), length of hospital stay (LOS), estimated blood loss (EBL), analgesic requirements, regular diet resumption, and drain duration. Relative risk (RR) and standardised mean difference (SMD) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were extrapolated. Subgroup analyses were performed according to study design and techniques. International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) number: CRD42020163303. RESULTS A total of 18 studies describing 2007 cases were included. Overall pooled effect estimates did not show statistically significant differences between the approaches with regards to success rate (RR 0.99; 95% CI 0.97, 1.01), complications (RR 1.09; 95% CI 0.82, 1.45), OT (SMD 0.61; 95% CI -0.04, 1.26), LOS (SMD -0.30; 95% CI -0.63, 0.04), EBL (SMD -0.53; 95% CI -1.26, 0.21), or analgesic requirements (SMD -0.51; 95% CI -1.23, 0.21). Compared to the transperitoneal approach, retroperitoneal LP had a higher conversion rate (RR 2.40; 95% CI 1.23, 4.66); however, patients resumed diets earlier (SMD -2.49; 95% CI -4.17, -0.82) and had shorter drain duration (SMD -0.31; 95% CI -0.57, -0.05). CONCLUSION The evidence suggests that there are no significant differences in success rate, OT and complications between transperitoneal and retroperitoneal LP. Conversion rates are higher with the retroperitoneal approach; however, return to diet occurs faster and drain duration is shorter when compared to the transperitoneal approach.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Laparoscopic pyeloplasty (LP) has been widely used in the treatment of pediatric ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO). However, no prior reports with a large pediatric series have focused on the analysis of complications and impact factors of the outcomes. We hypothesized there were risk factors of higher Clavien grade postoperative complications. OBJECTIVE To analyze the characteristics of complications and risk factors of high Clavien grade postoperative complications. PATIENTS AND METHODS All children with UPJO treated with primary transperitoneal LP between July 2016 and July 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. The Clavien complication grades in groups with different weight, intraoperative complication (drainage methods), anteroposterior pelvic diameters (APPD), side, gender, title of surgeon, preoperative presentation and obstruction reason were compared. RESULTS Of the 279 children, intraoperative complications in which the placement of double-J stents was not accomplished and conversion to open surgery (Satava grade II) occurred in 17 (6.09%) and 2 (0.72%) patients, respectively. A total of 270 patients (277 kidneys) were included in the analysis of postoperative complications. Postoperative complications occurred in 51 (18.89%) patients. The most frequent postoperative incident was febrile UTI in 27 patients. Of the 13 patients who required reoperations, 6 patients had kidney restenosis and were considered as failure of surgery. All complications with an exact onset time occurred within 10 months after surgery. In the univariate and multivariate analysis, weight <10 kg and having intraoperative complication with nephrostomy tube were risk factors of higher Clavien postoperative complication grade (P<0.05). DISCUSSION Patients who were <10 kg in weight and having intraoperative complication with nephrostomy tube had a greater risk of a higher Clavien grade postoperative complication. To reduce high Clavien grade postoperative complications, asymptomatic patients under 10 kg in weight and having intraoperative complication with nephrostomy tube need close monitoring. In the 26 patients who had an exact time of the postoperative complications, the longest time we found was 10 months. Thus, we recommend the follow-up time required to observe postoperative complications in patients should be at least 10 months after surgery. CONCLUSIONS LP has been proven to be safe and effective in children with a low rate of complications. Weight <10 kg and having intraoperative complications with nephrostomy tube were risk factors of higher Clavien grade postoperative complications. Children with low weight and intraoperative complications need more attention in terms of the occurrence of complications.

Searching for the Least Invasive Management of Pelvi-Ureteric Junction Obstruction in Children: A Critical Literature Review of Comparative Outcomes. Front Pediatr 2020; 8:252.

Abstract
Introduction: To review the published evidence on the minimally invasive pyeloplasty techniques available currently with particular emphasis on the comparative data about the various minimally invasive alternatives to treat pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction and gauge if one should be favored under certain circumstances. Materials and Methods: Non-systematic review of literature on open and minimally invasive pyeloplasty including various kinds of laparoscopic procedures, the robotic-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty, and endourological procedures. Results: Any particular minimally invasive pyeloplasty procedure seems feasible in experienced hands, irrespective of age including infants. Comparative data suggest that the robotic-assisted procedure has gained wider acceptance mainly because it is ergonomically more suited to surgeon well-being and facilitates advanced skills with dexterity thanks to 7 degrees of freedom. However, costs remain the major drawback of robotic surgery. In young children and infants, instead, open surgery can be performed via a relatively small incision and quicker time frame. Conclusions: The best approach for pyeloplasty is still a matter of debate. The robotic approach has gained increasing acceptance over the last years with major advantages of the surgeon well-being and ergonomics and the ease of suturing. Evidence, however, may favor the use of open surgery in infancy.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to assess the safety and clinical effectiveness of laparoscopic disconnected pyeloplasty in treating ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) in children. Material/Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 122 young children with UPJO treated from February 2015 to February 2018 at our hospital. According to the surgery type, the patients were divided into 2 groups: a laparoscopic surgery group (group A, n=69) and a traditional open surgery group (group B, n=53). Results The success rate of laparoscopic disconnected pyeloplasty was 100%, and none of the patients were converted to open surgery. The mean duration of use of painkillers was 27.6±11.3 h in group A and 58.2±18.2 h in group B (p=0.012), the postoperative hospital stay was 7.8±1.5 days in group A and 11.5±2.6 days in group B (p=0.041), and the length of the incision was 1.5±0.4 cm in group A and 5.2±1.1 cm in group B (p=0.007). The incidence rate of poor surgical wound healing was 0% in group A and 7.5% in group B (p=0.020). The incidence rate of ureteral stricture was 4.3% in group A and 3.8% in group B (p=0.874) during follow-up. The 1-year follow-up showed that both the anterior and posterior diameters and glomerular filtration rate were significantly improved from the preoperation period. Conclusions Laparoscopic disconnected pyeloplasty to treat UPJO in young children has the same early clinical effectiveness and safety as open surgery, and this procedure has the advantages of minimal trauma, quick recovery, and good cosmetic effect.

Abstract
Upper urinary surgery is an important area of urology surgery. Open surgery used to be the gold standard of upper urinary surgery. With the development of medical techniques, minimal invasive surgeries including laparoscopic and robot assisted-laparoscopic surgery have gradually replaced the open surgery. Because of the complexity and diversity of upper urinary diseases, surgeries sometimes are difficult, and minimal invasive surgeries require higher surgical abilities of urologists than open surgeries. In recent years, depending on our surgical experience and international reports, our team from three Chinese medical centers summarizes techniques of upper urinary minimal invasive surgeries. For malignant diseases, such as renal and ureteral carcinomas, it's important to totally remove the tumor first, and then to avoid the surgical injuries. We summarize surgical experience of retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for moderately complex renal hilar tumors. Our team modified minimal invasive techniques for some complex tumors, including ring suture technique for renal hilar tumors, internal suspension technique for renal ventral tumors, and combination retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery with mini-flank incision for complex renal tumors. While for begin diseases, urologists should focus on the resections and surgical injuries at the same time. We have reported the novel technique of laparoscopic aspiration for central renal angiomyolipoma, making the surgery simple and available. For reconstruction surgeries, operations should be based on several principals. We generalize it as "4TB principals", which include "tension-free", "water-tight", "thin suture", "no touch of the key area" and "protecting the blood supply". Depending on the localization, length, and etiology of the strictures, different techniques are required. Our team summarize the pyeloplasty, ureteral reimplantation and ileal ureter replacement based on our surgical experience. For infant upper urinary surgeries, our team has made invasive surgeries that can be used in complex diseases, such as duplex kidney. Based on years of surgical techniques, our modified surgeries achieve a better subjective cosmetic result than the traditional surgeries. In the future, the standardized, practical, simple and individual minimal invasive surgical technique will become the main direction in the future researches.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In children with congenital ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO), urinary biomarkers could assist in the diagnosis of renal damage or kidneys at risk for damage. Urinary levels of interleukin-6 (IL6), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (LCN2), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP1), and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGFB1) proteins have been correlated with renal damage in several contexts. Whether they might be useful non-invasive biomarkers of obstructive nephropathy due to unilateral and bilateral congenital UPJO was tested. PATIENTS AND METHODS A cohort study was performed at People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in China. Bladder urine samples from 17 patients with UPJO were obtained before surgical intervention and from 17 healthy age-matched controls. Levels of IL6, LCN2, MCP1, and TGFB1 were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and normalized to urinary creatinine levels. RESULTS Levels of urinary LCN2, MCP1, and IL6 were significantly elevated in the urine from individuals with UPJO compared with controls (P = 0.0003, P = 0.0003, and P = 0.0073, respectively). Children with bilateral UPJO (n = 5) showed significantly higher levels of IL6, LCN2, and MCP1 protein in their urine compared with controls or those with unilateral UPJO (n = 12; P = 0.007, P < 0.0001, and P = 0.0002, respectively). Combining LCN2 and MCP1 slightly improved biomarker performance. DISCUSSION Urinary biomarkers could be used in obstructed patients to monitor for renal damage and might find particular utility on patients with bilateral UPJO. Monitoring urinary biomarkers and imaging features in untreated patients could provide insights into the natural history of renal damage due to obstruction and will be necessary to test their performance characteristics as biomarkers. CONCLUSIONS Urinary levels of LCN2 and MCP1 protein are promising biomarkers monitoring children with UPJO, particularly in those with bilateral disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical outcome of surgical treatment for long ureteral defect in children, we evaluated our experience of managing 6 children with the long defect utilizing laparoscopic ureteral reconstruction technique using Yang-Monti technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS Six children with long ureteral defect who underwent laparoscopic Yang-Monti ureteral reconstruction between January 2013 and March 2016 were reviewed. The diagnosis and outcomes of long ureteral defects were reviewed based on clinical and imaging data. We assessed preoperative clinical data and outcomes, and analyzed the experience of laparoscopic Yang-Monti ureteral reconstruction. RESULTS The mean age of the patients was 8.5 years. The etiology of the ureteral defect was failed pyeloplasty in 4 patients, failed pyeloplasty and ureteral reimplantation in 1, and trauma in 1. The mean defect length was 5.83 cm. All operations were performed successfully with no serious intraoperative complications and no conversion. The average operative time was 314 minutes, the average intraoperative blood loss was 25 mL, the average drain removal was 3.83 days, the average start of oral feeding was 5.17 days, and the average postoperative hospital stay was 7.17 days. Six patients suffered Clavien I and II complications postoperatively and were managed conservatively. Two patients suffered Clavien III complications postoperatively and were managed by replacing stent. A diuretic T1/2 showed the improvement of differential renal function without urinary obstruction in all patients. CONCLUSION Laparoscopic Yang-Monti ureteral reconstruction is safe and feasible in children with an excellent outcome.
