Are robots the future? A case for robotic pyeloplasty as the gold standard treatment in ureteropelvic junction obstruction.

Purpose Of Review: Robotic pyeloplasty is still a relatively novel procedure. Clinically, early studies have shown high success rates, decreased complication rates, decreased length of hospital stay, and better cosmetic results. This goal of this article is to argue for the use of robotic pyeloplasty as the gold standard of ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) treatment.
