  • Title: Laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty in a child with a relatively inaccessible intrarenal pelvis.
    Author: Lintula H, Kokki H.
    Journal: Afr J Paediatr Surg; 2011; 8(2):225-8. PubMed ID: 22005372.
    Abstract:
    Laparoscopic pyeloplasty is an accepted way of dealing with pelviureteric junction obstruction in children with extrarenal pelvis. However, intrarenal pelvis has been considered a relative contraindication for laparoscopic pyeloplasty. Here, we describe the technique of laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty in a child with intrarenal pelvis. The key when one embraces laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty is to ensure that outcomes are not compromised. A successful outcome requires a widely patent, well-vascularised anastomosis performed free of tension.
