Purpose: To describe the technique of total laparoscopic ureterocystoplasty.
Materials And Methods: Laparoscopic ureterocystoplasty was performed to optimize the bladder function before kidney transplantation in a 23-year-old man. This patient had undergone bilateral cutaneous ureterostomy with fulguration of a posterior urethral valve at the age of 11 months. He underwent open surgical removal of multiple renal stones at age 10. He progressed to chronic renal failure at the age of 20, at which time hemodialysis was initiated. Because of grade IV vesicoureteral reflux and a poorly compliant bladder, the patient underwent laparoscopic ureterocystoplasty.
Results: The patient's lower urinary tract symptoms improved, and a urodynamic study performed after 6 months revealed a compliant bladder. Subsequently, a right nephrectomy and a live-donor renal transplantation from his mother were performed. At 1-year follow-up, his renal parameters were within normal range, he does not have any significant residual urine or urinary symptoms.
Conclusion: Laparoscopic ureterocystoplasty is an excellent option for a poorly compliant bladder, especially when a patient has had multiple open surgeries and is awaiting renal transplantation.

Conventional and robotic-assisted laparoscopy is being used for more and more complex urological procedures in children. There have recently been reports of laparoscopic or laparoscopic-assisted appendicovesicostomies in children. We report a case of combined laparoscopic-assisted nephrectomy, augmentation ureterocystoplasty and Mitrofanoff appendicovesicostomy in a 5-year-old boy with valve bladder syndrome.
