Introduction and Objective:
To investigate perioperative and long-term postoperative success rates of Anderson-Hynes robot-assisted pyeloplasty (RAP) at a single center.
Materials and Methods:
We retrospectively reviewed our RAP experience of 61 patients performed by two surgeons between 2004 and 2013 regarding operating time, length of hospital stay, perioperative complication, and success. Overall success was measured on necessary redo pyeloplasty. We also identified patients with temporary stent placement due to symptomatic hydronephrosis or with further obstruction in diuretic renography.
Results:
Median age, operating time, and follow-up was 33 years, 195 minutes and 64 months. No conversion to open procedure was necessary. The success rate was 98% (n=60) with one patient undergoing open redo pyeloplasty due to a recurrent stenosis. Temporary stent placement was reported in 3 patients due to pyelonephritis and dilatation.
Conclusion:
Satisfying long-term success rates including low complication rates of RAP can be reported in this study. RAP presents a safe and standardised procedure for symptomatic ureteropelvic junction obstruction.
