Laparoscopic Dismembered Pyeloplasty in 47 Cases

Abstract: The age of the patients ranged from four to 75 years, with a mean age of 32.3 years. The follow-up ranged between six and 30 months, with a mean follow-up time of 24 months. The outcomes were evaluated through the assessment of symptoms and imaging studies. RESULTS: In 44 (93.6%) of the 47 patients, resolution of the pain and a reduction in ureteropelvic dilation were observed. The mean operative time was 157 minutes (ranging from 90 to 270 minutes). Neither blood transfusion nor conversion to open surgery was… Show more

“…Anderson-Hynes dismembered technique is used in most series of published laparoscopic pyelo-plasties, reflecting an attempt to reproduce the well-established principles of open surgery [3,10], besides being more effective than other minimally invasive procedures [7,8,9]. The dismembered technique should always be considered, even in the presence of anomalous vessel, because in more than half of the cases there is an associated intrinsic stenosis [11].…”
