What is Surgical Outcomes Are Equivalent After Pure Laparoscopic and Robotic-assisted Pyeloplasty for Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction about?

## Introduction: Minimally invasive (robotic and pure laparoscopic) pyeloplasty has been increasingly used for treatment of ureteropelvic junction obstruction (upjo). however, few large-scale studies have compared these two modalities directly. ## Methods: We performed a retrospective single-center review of all patients who underwent pure laparoscopic (lp) or robotic pyeloplasty (ralp) between 2007 and 2018. patients were excluded if the initial surgery at our institution was a redo pyeloplasty or if they lacked follow-up information. outcomes of interest included operative time, length of stay, and complication rates, including rates of secondary procedures. we compared these outcomes between groups using student's t test for continuous variables and a chi-square for categorical variables. ## Results: A total of 282 patients were identified. forty-eight were excluded based on study criteria; therefore, our total study cohort was 234 patients: 119 ralp and 115 lp cases. overall mean postoperative follow-up time was 20.8 months, with no significant differences between groups. mean operative time was shorter in the lp group when compared the ralp group (3 h 7 min vs. 3 h 41 min, p <
