Background: Ureteropelvic junction obstructions (UPJOs) occur more frequently on the left than on the right side. Among patients diagnosed during the neonatal period, those with left-side UPJO have a more severe course than those with right-side UPJO.
Aim: This study examined clinical advances in the surgical management of right and left symptomatic UPJOs preoperatively and postoperatively, based on a retrospective analysis of cases.
Patients And Methods: In this retrospective clinical trial, 650 patients were evaluated at the time of diagnosis and at surgery.
Results: Left-side UPJO was diagnosed in 66.1% of patients (P = 0.017). The median age of the patients at surgery for left- and right-side UPJO was 1.5 and 4.2 years, respectively (P = 0.001). At the preoperative evaluation, the ratio of parenchymal thickness (RPT) on the UPJO side versus the contralateral side was 0.55 ± 0.3 and 0.7 ± 0.3 for patients with left-side and right-side UPJO, respectively (P = 0.029). RPT during the first postoperative year was 0.83 ± 0.2 for patients treated on the left side and 0.9 ± 0.3 for those treated on the right side (P = 0.25). The respective values at 3 years postoperatively were 0.8 ± 0.3 and 0.9 ± 0.2 (P = 0.09). The preoperative kidney function value in the left-side group was 42.5 ± 13.4, which declined to 39.52 ± 15.8 at the 3-year follow-up examination. In the right-side group, preoperative kidney function was 38.8 ± 16.1, which increased to 40.2 ± 13.2 at 3 years postoperatively. Both the decline and improvement were significant (both P = 0.006).
Conclusions: Those with left-side UPJO had a more severe course than those with right-side UPJO.

Aim: We aimed to investigate the short-term efficacy and safety of laparoscopic pyeloplasty for treating newborns with severe hydronephrosis due to ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO).
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 16 newborn patients with severe neonatal hydronephrosis who underwent laparoscopic pyeloplasty at our hospital from January 2021 to November 2022. All patients were regularly followed up.

We evaluated the differences in demographic characteristics of patients with and without underlying crossing renal vessels (CRVs) operated for unilateral symptomatic ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO). We identified the features of patients who had undergone open, laparoscopic and robotically assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty at our institution from July 2000 to January 2021. The ratio of renal parenchymal thickness (RPT; ratio between the kidney with UPJO and the healthy kidney), pelvic diameter and kidney functions were recorded.

Objective: To compare the characteristics of conventional laparoscopic pyeloplasty (LP) and robotic-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) in infants and young children with ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO).
Methods: We performed a retrospective study of patients (age: 0-36 months) who underwent dismembered pyeloplasty (Anderson-Hynes) with the fourth-generation RALP or traditional LP between April 2020 and December 2020.
Results: A total of 33 patients with UPJO were enrolled: 12 underwent RALP (9 left side; 3 right side) and 21 underwent LP (18 left side; 3 right side).
