Overview
Brief Summary
To prospectively compare the perioperative, morphological and functional outcomes on short and medium term between laparoscopic (LP) and open pyeloplasty (OP) patients.
Detailed Description
Pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction (PUJO) is defined as a functionally significant impairment of the flow of urine from the kidney's renal pelvis into the proximal ureter. Open pyeloplasty (OP) has been the gold standard for PUJO repair since the first successful reconstruction of an obstructed PUJO was accomplished in 1892, and achieves success rates exceeding 90%. Various open surgical techniques have been described based on the cause, location, and length of the PUJO. The most popular repair is the Anderson-Hynes dismembered pyeloplasty, which has universal application and is accepted as the gold standard of treatment. Now, Laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty represents a minimally invasive alternative of gold standard open Anderson- Hynes technique that has a comparable successful outcome with open pyeloplasty while avoiding its co-morbidities. It is also better than endopylotomy as it deals effectively with the crossing vessel
