Although success rates are reported to be high, radiographic followup after pyeloplasty to correct ureteropelvic junction obstruction varies in intensity and modality. We characterized postoperative care after pyeloplasty to identify imaging trends.

1998年5月1日 · Laparoscopic pyeloplasty is a minimally invasive technique that provides durable clinical and radiographic results in a similar fashion as open pyeloplasty. Although still a technically challenging procedure, laparoscopic pyeloplasty addresses and corrects all potential causes of UPJ obstruction with minimal risk of hemorrhagic complications.

Often considered the criterion standard for the treatment of ureteropelvic junction obstruction, open pyeloplasty has success rates consistently greater than 90% based on subjective patient symptoms and objective radiographic evidence.

Purpose: Although success rates are reported to be high, radiographic followup after pyeloplasty to correct ureteropelvic junction obstruction varies in intensity and modality. We characterized postoperative care after pyeloplasty to identify imaging trends.

Pyeloplasty for hydronephrosis secondary to ureteropelvic junction obstruction is a proved efficacious procedure. In many cases the clinical improvement effected by technically successful pyeloplasty in children has been reported to exceed substantially radiographic improvement in caliceal appearanc …

Laparoscopic pyeloplasty is one of several minimally invasive treatment options for UPJ obstruction. In fact, several endoscopically and fluoroscopically controlled methods of incising the obstructed UPJ are now available that are significantly less invasive and less morbid in comparison with open p …

2014年5月1日 · Although success rates are reported to be high, radiographic followup after pyeloplasty to correct ureteropelvic junction obstruction varies in intensity and modality. We characterized postoperative care after pyeloplasty to identify imaging trends.

Radiographic followup after pyeloplasty for the correction of ureteropelvic junction obstruction is not well defined in children. We characterize trends in frequency and modality of postoperative imaging after open and minimally invasive pediatric pyeloplasty.

2023年11月16日 · In this instance, a delayed radiograph of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder many hours later may also demonstrate the UPJ obstruction. The presence of crossing vessels, an extrinsic cause of UPJ...

Laparoscopic pyeloplasty aims to adhere to the surgical principles of open pyeloplasty. It is a minimally invasive surgical option that provides the desirable aspects of open surgery, including the precise mucosal approximation, excision of redundant renal pelvis tissue, and anterior transposition of the UPJ for lower pole crossing vessels.
