[PMID: 37336840 DOI: 10.1007/s11701-023-01647-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2023] [Accepted: 06/02/2023] [Indexed: 06/21/2023]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare outcomes of laparoscopic and robotic-assisted colectomy in children. All children who underwent a colectomy with a laparoscopic (LapC) or robotic-assisted (RobC) approach in our institution (January 2010-March 2023) were included. Demographics, surgical data, and post-operative outcomes within 30 days were collected. Additional cost related to the robotic approach was calculated. Comparisons were performed using Fisher tests for categorical variables and Mann-Whitney tests for continuous variables. A total of 55 colectomies were performed: 31 LapC and 24 RobC (median age: 14.9 years). Main indications included: inflammatory bowel disease (n = 36, 65%), familial adenomatous polyposis (n = 6, 11%), sigmoid volvulus (n = 5, 9%), chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (n = 3, 5%). LapC included 22 right, 4 left, and 5 total colectomies. RobC included 15 right, 4 left, and 5 total colectomies. Robotic-assisted surgery was associated with increased operative time (3 h vs 2.5 h, p = 0.02), with a median increase in operative time of 36 min. There were no conversions. Post-operative complications occurred in 35% of LapC and 38% of RobC (p = 0.99). Complications requiring treatment under general anesthesia (Clavien-Dindo 3) occurred in similar rates (23% in LapC vs 13% in RobC, p = 0.49). Length of hospitalization was 10 days in LapC and 8.5 days in RobC (p = 0.39). The robotic approach was associated with a median additional cost of 2156€ per surgery. Robotic-assisted colectomy is as safe and feasible as laparoscopic colectomy in children, with similar complication rates but increased operative times and cost.

Abstract
Duplex kidney and ureter is a congenital malformation. Few patients present with hydronephrosis caused by obstruction of the ureteropelvic junction of the duplex kidney, but lower kidney calculi caused by a duplex kidney abnormality is rare. This study reports a case of a duplex kidney and ureter complicated by multiple calculi in the duplex lower kidney. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy combined with a da Vinci robot-assisted laparoscopic upper urinary tract reconstruction was performed. The lower ureter was resected, and the lower kidney was preserved. One year after the surgery, a follow-up examination reported satisfactory renal function without hydronephrosis or calculi.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Relative to conventional laparoscopy, Laparo-Endoscopic Single Site (LESS) surgery has been associated with improved cosmesis. This study investigated preoperative and postoperative patient perceptions of LESS surgery and what factors may affect those perceptions. METHODS Patients undergoing LESS Surgery were queried before and after their operations. Body image and other factors were assessed preoperatively and postoperatively in 881unselected patients undergoing LESS surgery utilizing Likert scale questionnaires. Responses were collated and analyzed. Data are reported as median (mean ± SD), where appropriate. RESULTS 881 patients studied had a median age of 59 (57 ± 15.3) years and had a median Body Mass Index of 27 (28 ± 6.2) kg/m2. 65% were women. 343 (39%) had undergone a previous abdominal operation(s). Prior to LESS surgery, patients reported neutral body image scores and rated their overall appearance satisfaction as 40% (37% ± 30.7) on a Visual Analog Scale (VAS). 68% were unwilling to undergo LESS surgery if it involved more risk relative to traditional laparoscopy as safety was their number one concern. Postoperatively, patients reported a significant improvement in body image perception and safety was no longer their foremost concern. CONCLUSION Preoperatively, patients are most concerned with safety (e.g. risk) with secondary concerns of cost and pain but they were less concerned with their appearance. Postoperatively, safety is much, much less of an issue (because it has been achieved) and appearance is more paramount with significant improvements in their self-assessed appearance. With LESS surgery patients indicate a high level of satisfaction with cosmesis.

Abstract
Objective The aim of the study was to assess the feasibility and outcomes of pediatric urological laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) surgery. Materials and Methods We retrospectively collected charts of all patients who underwent LESS procedures in our department from January 2013 to December 2016. Data included demographic characteristics, type of procedures, intraoperative details, hospital stay, and complications. The umbilicus was used as the surgical site in all cases. All procedures were performed with a homemade glove port and standard straight 3- or 5-mm laparoscopic instruments. Results Seventy-three patients (55 males, 18 females) were identifed. Procedures included 46 orchidop-exies, 21 pyeloplasties, 8 varicocelectomies, 3 nephrecto-mies, 3 nephroureterectomies, 3 orchiectomies, and 1 renal hydatid cyst treatment. Median operative time for the entire cohort was 47 min (range 26-156 min). There was no signifcant intraoperative blood loss. No conversion to conventional laparoscopy or open surgery was needed. All patients required paracetamol postoperatively. The mean follow-up was 18 months. Two patients had testicular atrophy after a Fowler-Stephens procedure and 1 patient had testicular reascension. Cosmetic results were excellent. Forty-five (62.5%) patients were discharged on the day of surgery. Conclusion Our study demonstrated that LESS surgery using our glove port technique and conventional laparoscopic instruments is a feasible and safe technique for the surgical management of various pediatric urological conditions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In a duplicated renal collecting system, or duplex kidney, the most frequent pathology presenting at the lower pole is the vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), which could lead to urinary tract infections (UTI) or even renal dysplasia. Under some circumstances, such as recurrent UTIs or impaired kidney function, heminephrectomy of the pathologic moiety is indicated. However, there are only few academic videos of laparoscopic lower pole heminephrectomy in the pediatric population available in literature. Therefore, we present a descriptive video of this procedure. METHODS This video exhibits a case report of a 15-month-old male patient who underwent a videolaparoscopic lower pole heminephrectomy as treatment of a refluxing non-functional lower moiety of a right duplex kidney. Moreover, the patient presented a refluxing contralateral ureter which was endoscopically corrected at the same time. RESULTS A laparoscopic right lower pole heminephrectomy associated with an endoscopic contralateral reflux treatment was performed. No complication occurred during hospital stay or at 30-day follow up. CONCLUSION Videolaparoscopic lower pole heminephrectomy is a safe and feasible procedure in the pediatric population. Associating an endoscopic correction of the contralateral side reflux at the same moment shows no additional morbidity or complication.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Recent reports in the literature suggest an increased risk of complications with retroperitoneal as opposed to transperitoneal approach to partial nephrectomy (PN) and total nephrectomy (TN). We are a large unit performing predominantly retroperitoneoscopic PN and TN. We aim to review our outcomes and perform analysis to elucidate the predictors of complications following the retroperitoneal approach for extirpative kidney surgery. METHODS We performed a single center retrospective review of children undergoing MIMS TN and PN between 2005 and 2015. Variables were tested for association with outcomes using Chi2 and Spearman's Rho correlation. RESULTS We performed 173 MIMS nephrectomies, 119 total and 54 partial. Median age and weight were 5 years (6 months to 18 years) and 24.9 kg (7.7 to 85 kg) and operative time 147 min. There were 4 conversions and 17 postoperative complications. 19.6% children required further surgery, including 8 completion stumpectomies. Retroperitoneal approach did not have increased risk compared to transperitoneal for need of further surgery. Partial nephrectomy was not associated with higher rate of intraoperative complication or LOS. Predictors of intraoperative complication were vessel closure technique. Associations with need for further surgery were: ESRF, contralateral disease, bladder dysfunction, presence of PD catheter, and need for concomitant procedure. CONCLUSION Our conversion rate (1.9%) and need for further surgery (13.1%) following the retroperitoneal approach to the kidney are favorable to the literature. Need for reoperation is often associated with the underlying diagnosis and the natural sequelae of the disease process. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV.

Abstract
Application of laparoscopy in pediatric urology has evolved over more than 30 years coming from a merely diagnostic use for non-palpable testes to "interventional" laparoscopy to extirpative surgery and finally to the era of reconstructive pediatric laparoscopic urology, when in 1995 Peters described the first laparoscopic pyeloplasty in a child. Laparoscopic surgery in pediatric urology became implemented increasingly in the twenty-first century with now present-day applications including the complete variety of all kind of indications for surgery for pediatric urological pathology. This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of current indications, techniques, and outcomes of laparoscopic transperitoneal surgery of the upper as well as of the lower urinary tract for urological pathology in the pediatric patient population.

The age of robotic surgery - Is laparoscopy dead? Arab J Urol 2018; 16:262-269. [PMID: 30140462 PMCID: PMC6104663 DOI: 10.1016/j.aju.2018.07.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2018] [Revised: 06/24/2018] [Accepted: 07/10/2018] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) has become a widely used technology in urology. Urological procedures that are now being routinely performed robotically are: radical prostatectomy (RP), radical cystectomy (RC), renal procedures - mainly partial nephrectomy (PN), and pyeloplasty, as well as ureteric re-implantation and adrenalectomy. Methods This non-systematic review of the literature examines the effectiveness of RALS compared with conventional laparoscopic surgery for the most relevant urological procedures. Results For robot-assisted RP there seems to be an advantage in terms of continence and potency over laparoscopy. Robot-assisted RC seems equal in terms of oncological outcome but with lower complication rates; however, the effect of intracorporeal urinary diversion has hardly been examined. Robotic PN has proven safe and is most likely superior to conventional laparoscopy, whereas there does not seem to be a real advantage for the robot in radical nephrectomy. For reconstructive procedures, e.g. pyeloplasty and ureteric re-implantation, there seems to be advantages in terms of operating time. Conclusions We found substantial, albeit mostly low-quality evidence, that robotic operations can have better outcomes than procedures performed laparoscopically. However, in light of the significant costs and because high-quality data from prospective randomised trials are still missing, conventional urological laparoscopy is certainly not 'dead' yet.
