Comparison of Surgical and Functional Outcome of Laparoscopic Pyeloplasty and Robot-assisted Pyeloplasty for Congenital Uretero Pelvic Junction Obstruction

Abstract

Most of the studies done in the past show that with all other intraoperative and postoperative parameters being comparable between robotic and laparoscopic pyeloplasty, only total operative time and total blood loss happen to be both clinically and statistically significantly lesser in robotic pyeloplasty. Our study shows that in the experienced hand, only total operative time happens to be clinically and statistically significantly lesser in robotic pyeloplasty whereas, total blood loss is not clinically significantly lesser.
