Abstract

Robot assisted laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty is a feasible technique for ureteropelvic junction reconstruction. When measured by the more stringent application of diuretic renography and analog pain scales, the success rate for ureteropelvic junction obstruction management appears similar to that of open or standard laparoscopic approaches.
