Introduction: The standard approach to the treatment of short ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction is the Anderson-Hynes procedure. Despite its high efficiency and low complication rate, there are ongoing studies which study the modification of the procedure using open, laparoscopic, and robotic approaches.
Aim: To describe a modified pyeloplasty technique with an assessment of the anatomical and functional results in comparison with the Anderson-Hynes procedure.
Objective: To evaluate the outcomes of children with vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) and obstructive megaureter (OM) utilizing various laparoscopic and robot-assisted approaches.
Materials And Methods: Retrospective review of all pediatric laparoscopic and robot-assisted cases for lower ureter pathology was performed between 2016-2022 in 13 academic centers worldwide. Five surgical approaches were assessed: LEUR, LVCUR, LDECUR, RALUR, and RADECUR.
On newborn non-narcotized 1-day-old (P1) and 16-day-old (P16) rats, a detailed analysis of intersystem somatovisceral interactions (ISI) mediated by decasecond (D1, 5-50 sec) range modulating rhythms was performed. Correlation interactions of the main body systems - cardiovascular, respiratory and somatomotor systems in norm and under conditions of changes in the level of cholinergic regulation were studied. Spectral correlation analysis was used to determine the participation of D1 range modulating rhythms in ISI.

The parameters of low-amplitude bradycardic oscillations of heart rhythm in norm and after administration of the acetylcholinesterase inhibitor physostigmine (eserine) in different doses (/, /, and /LD) to rats were studied. The maximum increase in the power of low-amplitude brady-cardic oscillations was achieved during moderate activation of cholinoreactive structures after injection of eserine in a dose of /LD.

Available sources mention only three clinical cases similar to our observations. The unique anatomic aspects of this disorder hamper the correct diagnosis of an intra-abdominal cryptorchid testis.
