570: Outcome Analysis of Retroperitoneal Laparoscopic Heminephrectomy in Children

Abstract

RESULTS: All 28 patients patients were repaired successfully by ultrasound and symptomatic criteria. No complications were observed and there were two open conversions. One was in a patient with a stone and the second was due to mechanical failure of the robot. Initial post-operative ultrasounds showed decreased hydronephrosis when compared with preoperative studies in all patients. All patients were pain free postoperatively. Intraoperative times for robotic assisted pyeloplasties were 275-350 minutes (average 310.4). Laparoscopic times ranged from 295-370 minutes (average 306.7).
