Comparative analysis of laparoscopic and transumbilical incision open pyeloplasty for treatment of infants with ureteropelvic junction obstruction: a clinical efficacy and safety study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The treatment for the renal ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is mainly dominated by laparoscopic minimally invasive techniques. Open surgery is used less frequently. However, in regions where endoscopic techniques are not yet well-developed or in very young infants, open pyeloplasty (OP) still plays a significant role. This study aims to investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of transumbilical incision open pyeloplasty (TUOP) in infants by comparing it with laparoscopic pyeloplasty (LP).

Methods

A retrospective analysis involving 40 infants (≤6 months) who underwent pyeloplasty at Department of Urology, Anhui Provincial Children's Hospital was conducted between April 2021 and April 2024. Eighteen infants were in the TUOP group, and 22 were in the LP
