Extraperitoneal laparoscopic dismembered fibrin‐glued pyeloplasty: medium‐term results

Abstract

This technique is associated with a significantly shorter operating time than historical laparoscopic controls, and with a significantly lower post-operative opiate analgesic requirement and shorter post-operative hospitalization than in a contemporaneous series of patients undergoing open pyeloplasty. However, longer term follow-up is needed to fully assess the performance of these anastomoses.
