Day Surgery in Children Undergoing Retroperitoneal Robot-assisted Laparoscopic Pyeloplasty: Is It Safe and Feasible?

ABSTRACT:

Background

Robot-assisted pyeloplasty is the most frequently performed robotic procedure in children. A retroperitoneal approach limits surgical trauma and avoids peritoneal irritation. This led to the establishment of the criteria for day surgery (DS) and a related clinical care pathway.

Objective

To assess the feasibility and safety of DS in children undergoing retroperitoneal robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (R-RALP).

Design setting and participants

We performed a bicentric prospective study (NCT03274050) over 2 yr involving the two major paediatric urology teaching hospitals in Paris. A clinical pathway and a prospective research protocol were specifically established.

Intervention

DS in selected children undergoing R-RALP.
