Feasibility and Effectiveness of Repeat Laparoscopic Pyeloplasty for Recurrent Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction in Pediatric Patients.
Journal of Endourology 2024 March 29
OBJECTIVE: To assess the outcomes of redo laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RLP) in pediatric patients with recurrent ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) in contrast to redo open pyeloplasty (ROP). Additionally, evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of RLP as a treatment modality for recurrent UPJO in children.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The data of 44 patients from March 2012 to March 2022 who underwent redo pyeloplasty were retrospectively reviewed. In Group RLP, the children underwent RLP, while ROP was attempted in Group ROP. Demographics, clinical manifestations, surgical duration, hospitalization duration, complication rates, and treatment success were examined within the respective groups. Moreover, preoperative and postoperative measurements of anterior-posterior diameter of the renal pelvis (APD), preoperative assessment of differential renal function (DRF) and the percentage of improvement in DRF(PI-DRF) were subjected to analysis.
RESULTS: The study included 28 patients who underwent RLP (Group RLP), and 16 patients who underwent ROP (Group ROP). In all cases, the Anderson-Hynes technique was employed. There were no significant differences between the two groups regarding age, BMI, gender distribution, affected side, preoperative APD, postoperative APD, and preoperative DRF. In comparison to Group ROP, Group RLP exhibited a shorter hospitalization duration, a longer surgical procedure duration, and a higher percentage improvement in PI-DRF. The median follow-up period for Group RLP was 25 months, while it was 25.5 months for Group ROP. Notably, the success rates were similar between the two groups, with a success rate of 89.2% in RLP and 87.5% in ROP (p=0.634).
CONCLUSION: RLP has a comparable success rate to ROP and is a safe, effective, and feasible procedure for the treatment of failed pyeloplasty in children.
