Abstract：
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Retroperitoneoscopy is an established procedure for renal surgery. We evaluated our results with retroperitoneoscopic pyeloplasty for ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction. PATIENTS AND METHODS:In 14 female and 10 male patients, a retroperitoneoscopic pyeloplasty was performed (13 right/11 left). Four patients had previously had an endopyelotomy. The operation was performed using standard retroperitoneoscopic technique with the patient in a flank position. After preparation of the ureter and renal pelvis, the UPJ was resected in 22 patients in an Anderson-Hynes pyeloplasty. Twenty of these patients had a crossing vessel. The other two patients, who had small renal pelves, were operated on with a Fenger pyeloplasty. In all patients a 7F double-J stent was placed. RESULTS:The mean operative time was 189 minutes (range 70-360 minutes), and the average blood loss was 110 mL (range 50-400 mL). There were no intraoperative complications, although one patient with adhesions and scarring after previous endopyelotomy had to be converted to open surgery. The transurethral catheter was left for 7 days in the first 10 cases and for 4 days in the 14 subsequent patients. The hospitalization time was 9.7 and 7.5 days, respectively. The only postoperative complication was a urinoma, which was punctured. The double-J catheter was removed after an average of 4.6 weeks (range 4-8 weeks). Intravenous urography 6 weeks later showed no obstruction. The mean follow-up time was 11.5 months (range 1-24 months) with no signs of obstruction on ultrasonography. CONCLUSIONS:Retroperitoneoscopic pyeloplasty for UPJ obstruction is a safe and effective procedure. Our short-term results are similar to those of open pyeloplasty with the advantage of a minimally invasive approach.
