Minimal incision laparoscopy-assisted open pyeloplasty (MILAP) incorporates elements of open pyeloplasty (OP) and single incision laparoscopy to improve technical ease and cosmetic outcomes. Six MILAP procedures were performed using a single transumbilical incision through which the ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) is mobilized with standard laparoscopic instrumentation. The UPJ is brought extracorporeally through a 1-cm flank incision, and a traditional Anderson-Hynes open pyeloplasty is performed. Compared with OP, perioperative outcomes were similar. Follow-up renal scans all showed improvement of obstruction. A 1-cm flank incision is the only obvious scar.

Article Synopsis
- The study compares the effectiveness of two pain management techniques, Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) and Paravertebral Block (PVB), in children undergoing pyeloplasty surgery.
- Both techniques showed similar results in pain relief scores and the timing for first rescue analgesia, indicating they are both effective.
- However, ESPB had advantages such as easier application and a lower risk of complications, specifically hematoma formation at the injection site.

Introduction: In adult patients, most ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) occurs secondarily. Concurrent UPJO with nephrolithiasis is not rare and simultaneous treatment by performing laparoscopic pyeloplasty and endoscopic stone removal has been suggested. In the case of atypical anatomy or previously failed pyeloplasty, a laparoscopic ureterocalicostomy is preferred.

Pyeloplasty at an early age (<2 years) can be treated by a flank open, laparoscopy or robotic approach. We want to demonstrate our strategy and how to construct a very inexpensive pyelostent from a Foley tube. The Ottoni catheter is made from a Foley tube, sectioning the proximal end keeping a plastic circular basement for fixation to the skin.

Introduction: To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and effectiveness of different pyeloplasty procedure approaches for pelvicureteric junction (PUJ) obstruction in kidney anomalies. The presence of difficult, unfamiliar and anomalous anatomy makes pyeloplasty challenging in these conditions.
Patients And Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of pyeloplasty in patients with congenital anomalous kidneys at our national tertiary referral centre.

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.
