Article Synopsis
- In pediatric urology, partial nephrectomy can be performed on infants to remove non-functioning kidney parts, with limited data available on such cases.
- An 11-month-old male patient with a duplicated renal collecting system underwent a robot-assisted laparoscopic lower pole nephrectomy due to severe hydronephrosis.
- The procedure was successful, and follow-up showed no complications, indicating that robotic nephrectomy is safe and effective for infants and younger children.
The laparoscopic approach to the pyeloplasty procedure has proven to be safe and effective in the pediatric population. Multiple studies have revealed outcomes comparable to the open approach. However, a major drawback to laparoscopy is the technical challenge of precise suturing in the small working space in children.
