Fibroepithelial polyps are a rare underlying reason of ureteropelvic junction obstruction. In the past, open surgery was the only option. However, due to development of minimal invasive technics, treatment alternatives have been changed. Resection by laparoscopy or endoscopy, laser fulguration and/or percutaneous resection are recommended in children and adults. Here, we present a 10-year-old boy with severe left hydronephrosis due to fibroepithelial polyp close to the ureteropelvic junction and our laparoscopic approach.

Single-port robot-assisted pyeloplasty through supine anterior retroperitoneal access.

This video explores the technique of robot-assisted pyeloplasty using the Da-Vinci Single-Port robot through the supine anterior retroperitoneal access in a 28-year-old male with a right-sided ureteropelvic junction obstruction. The patient was placed in a supine position, with a 10°-20° elevation of the ipsilateral flank. Retroperitoneal access was obtained at the McBurney's point for the placement of the port.

Renal histologic changes in congenital ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO), although well documented, are sparsely studied in children. This study aims to establish a histological grading depending on the glomerular and tubulo-interstitial changes in hydronephrotic kidneys and determine correlation with age at surgery and impact on function post-pyeloplasty. A renal cortical wedge biopsy was obtained after pyeloplasty and histological changes were graded from 1 to 4.

Background: Hydronephrosis developing at the ureteropelvic junction due to obstruction poses clinical challenges as it has the potential to cause renal damage.
Aims: This study aims to evaluate how well machine learning models such, as XGBClassifier and Logistic Regression can be used to predict the need for treatment in patients, with hydronephrosis resulting from ureteropelvic junction obstruction.
Methods: Hydronephrosis was diagnosed in the medical records of patients from January 2015 to December 2020.
Zinner syndrome incidentally diagnosed in a man with ureteropelvic junction stone and hydronephrosis: A case report.

Zinner syndrome is a congenital anomaly characterized by seminal vesicle cysts, ipsilateral renal agenesis, and ejaculatory duct obstruction possibly associated with infertility. Only 200 cases of Zinner syndrome have been reported since its discovery in 1914. We present the case of a 63-year-old man seeking treatment for a ureteropelvic junction stone causing severe hydronephrosis.
