What is Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Vascular Hitch Efficacy for Pelvi-ureteric Junction Obstruction Due to Lower Pole Crossing Vessels about?

Objective This systematic review aimed to determine the overall success rate for vascular hitch (VH) procedures in patients with pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction (PUJO) due to lower pole crossing vessel (LPCV) and with the laparoscopic approach. ## Methods The review based on PRISMA guidelines was performed using the PubMed, SCOPUS and Google scholar databases searches till September 2020. Baseline characteristics, number of patients undergoing VH procedure, mode of surgery, patient mean age, clinical presentation, mean operative duration, use of intraoperative diuretic test, use of suture material, mean length of postoperative hospital stay, use of JJ stent, comparison of pre-and post-operative renal pelvis anteroposterior diameter, comparison of pre-and post-operative renograms, mean follow-up, outcomes of the procedures, recurrence and post-operative complications were studied. The results were pooled to determine overall success rate for VH procedures in patients with PUJO due to LPCV. ## Results The initial search led to identification of 327 articles, of which 18 studies met the inclusion criteria. VH was performed in 77.57% PUJO patients that presented with LPCV. Furtherm
