Abstract:Purpose of reviewRobotic pyeloplasty is still a relatively novel procedure.

This goal of this article is to argue for the use of robotic pyeloplasty as the gold standard of ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) treatment. Results of studies that have compared robotic pyeloplasty with other procedures currently used are reviewed.
