Long-Term Outcome of Laparoscopic Pyeloplasty: Multicentric Comparative Study of Techniques and Accesses

Abstract

Laparoscopic pyeloplasty is a reproducible, highly effective, and minimally invasive treatment for uretero-pelvic junction obstruction. Surgical technique affects operative time and long-term success rates. Dismembered techniques seem to remain more effective after a long-term follow up. Surgical route does not seem to affect success rates.
