Abstract

Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is the most common cause of hydronephrosis in children. While there are several etiologies for this condition, not all children require surgical repair. In those pediatric patients who do require surgical repair, several surgical options for pyeloplasty exist, now that more minimally invasive techniques are available and utilized. Outstanding surgical outcomes (>95% success rates) with minimal complication risks are uniformly reported. Ultimately the type of approach employed-open, laparoscopic or robotic-assisted-depends on patient characteristics, surgeon preference and familiarity. As technology continues to evolve and surgical techniques are refined, each subsequent iteration of pyeloplasty repair will lead to improvements in surgical efficiency as there is little room to improve markedly high success rates. Nowadays robotics (Xi or Si) plays the majority role in the surgical correction of UPJO.
