Aim: To review the results of our first 40 cases of retroperitoneal dismembered pyeloplasty and to compare them with series of open and other minimally invasive treatments of pelviureteric junction (PUJ) obstruction. Also to compare our first 20 cases with the second 20 cases to see if there was an improvement in results with experience.
Methods: A retrospective review of the first 40 laparoscopic pyeloplasties performed by a single lead surgeon at two institutions was performed.
Objective: To report our experience with a laparoscopic approach to managing symptomatic urachal anomalies.
Patients And Methods: Five patients (median age 19 years, range 2-43) had a laparoscopic excision of a complicated urachal remnant between 2001 and 2004. Three ports were routinely used, although their positioning varied as our technique developed with experience.
