What is LAPAROSCOPIC PYELOPLASTY: THE FIRST 100 CASES about?
Purpose: Laparoscopic pyeloplasty was developed as a minimally invasive alternative to an open procedure for the treatment of ureteropelvic junction obstruction. Long-term followup has not yet been reported. We present experience with the first 100 consecutive cases of laparoscopic pyeloplasty performed at our institution. Materials and Methods: A retrospective review of 100 consecutive laparoscopic pyeloplasties in 99 patients (means age 37.3 years) between August 1993 and January 1999 was performed. All patients had radiographic evidence of obstruction with signs, symptoms or deterioration of renal function. Repair was for primary ureteropelvic junction obstruction in 83 patients and secondary obstruction in 17. The 4 types of repairs performed were Anderson-Hynes dismembered (71 cases), Y-V plasty (20), Heineke-Mirhulicz (8) and Davis intubated ureterotomy (1). Type of repair used was dictated by intraoperative findings. Twenty patients had nonobstructing renal stones and underwent concomitant pyelolithotomy. All patients were assessed for symptoms and radiographic evaluation for anatomical obstruction. Results: Average operating room time was 4.2 hours, which decreased with sur
