Objectives: The objective of this study was to describe our experience with laparoscopic simultaneous bilateral dismembered pyeloplasty in two pediatric cases by using three midline ports.
Methods: A 5-year-old boy and a 5-month-old male infant with bilateral ureteropelvic junction obstruction underwent bilateral laparoscopic transperitoneal dismembered pyeloplasty. A 10-mm trocar was placed through the umbilicus, and two 5-mm trocars were also placed in the midline superior and inferior to the umbilicus. On the left side, dismembered pyeloplasty was performed through a transmesocolic approach. Double-J ureteral stent was inserted through one of the trocars on both sides.
Results: The postoperative period was uneventful. Patients were discharged on postoperative days 4 and 5. Oral feeding was tolerated on the first postoperative day. In a 6-month follow-up period, excretory urography and renal scan showed resolution of obstruction.
Conclusions: Laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty can be performed in a single session for pediatric patients with bilateral ureteropelvic junction obstruction. This can obviate the need for two sessions of anesthesia induction and intubation. However, more studies with large number of patients are needed to confirm this result.

Does thiol-disulphide balance in tissue and serum play a role in disease management in ureteropelvic junction stenosis?
J Pediatr Urol
November 2024
Department of Urology, Ankara City Hospital, Ankara, Türkiye. Electronic address:
Background: The study aimed at evaluating the role of thiol-disulphide balance parameters [native thiol (SH), total thiol (SH + SS), disulphide (SS), disulphide/native thiol ratio (% SS/SH), disulphide/total thiol ratio (% SS/Total Thiol) and native thiol/total thiol ratio (%SH/Total Thiol)], which are important oxidative stress markers in the congenital ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) stenosis, in the diagnosis of the disease, and its role in determining the need for surgery and follow-up.
Materials And Methods: This prospective study included 30 children diagnosed with congenital intrinsic ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) and a control group of 30 healthy children admitted to the pediatric clinic between January 2016 and February 2017. The children with UPJO underwent laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty.
Modified robot-assisted laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty for adult patients with horseshoe kidney: techniques and medium-term outcomes.

Background: The aim of this study was to report our technique and medium-term outcomes of modified robot-assisted laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty (RALDP) in the Lithotomy Trendelenburg position for treating adult ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) with horseshoe kidney (HSK).
Methods: Between March 2021 and March 2023, 11 adult patients with UPJO and HSK underwent modified RALDP in the lithotomy Trendelenburg position. Patient demographic characteristics, perioperative parameters, and follow-up outcomes were collected prospectively and analyzed.
Expression of tissue fibrosis genes in congenitally obstructed pyeloureteral junction and biomarkers of renal damage.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how fibrosis-related genes in obstructed ureteral tissue relate to renal damage markers and preoperative renal scans.
- Researchers collected urine and blood samples pre-surgery, analyzing various biomarkers and gene expressions from obstructed tissue samples.
- The results showed certain negative correlations between urinary albumin and expressions of TGFβ1 and VEGFA in the obstructive tissue, but overall, no direct links were found between gene expressions and renal damage biomarkers.
Unique Variants of Megacalycosis on Magnetic Resonance Urography.
Urology
December 2024
Department of Pediatric Urology, Emory University and Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, Atlanta, GA.
Objective: To present a unique set of patients diagnosed with megacalycosis by magnetic resonance urography (MRU) to re-evaluate the definition of megacalycosis and provide a new perspective on diagnosis and treatment.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective chart review of patients with megacalycosis as diagnosed by MRU was conducted. MRU was performed to determine the presence of obstruction, further visualize renal anatomy, and clarify the presence of megacalycosis.
Laparoscopic pyeloplasty in neonates and infants is safe and efficient.

Introduction: Dismembered laparoscopic pyeloplasty (LP) is a well-accepted treatment modality for ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) in children. However, its efficacy and safety in infants, particularly neonates, remain uncertain. To address this significant knowledge gap, we aimed to compare outcomes between a cohort of neonates and infants undergoing LP vs.
