The AndersonâHynes pyeloplasty is still the gold standard for the surgical treatment of the ureteropelvic junction obstruction in children.

Abstract
The AndersonâHynes pyeloplasty is still the gold standard for the surgical treatment of the ureteropelvic junction obstruction in children. Laparoscopic, retroperitoneoscopic, and robotic approaches have been proposed as alternatives in order to reduce postoperative hospitalization, pain, and scars. We describe a modification of the retroperitoneoscopic technique that combines the advantages of a minimally invasive technique with the high success rate of standard dismembered pyeloplasty. We called the procedure OTAP (one-trocar-assisted pyeloplasty).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
