Popis: Objective To evaluate the effect and safety of laparoscopic pyeloplasty in the treatment of pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction (PUJO). Patients and methods In 34 patients, laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty was used to treat primary PUJO. Information was obtained for symptoms, results of a nuclear scan before and after surgery, intraoperative blood loss, operative duration, stenting method, and hospital stay. Under general anaesthesia and in the flank position, a 10 mm trocar was first placed above the umbilicus; three 5 mm working ports were then placed. The ureter and pelvis were freed from surrounding adhesions. The obstructive pelvi-ureteric segment was then excised, and the opened point of the ureter spatulated. Ureteropyeloplasty between the lower pole, pelvis and spatulated ureter was made using a 4-0 polyglactin suture around a JJ stent. Results The mean (SD) preoperative nuclear scan result was 23.6 (6.4) mL/min, with retention of tracer. The median operative duration was 200 min, and the median blood loss 120 mL. All patients were stented with a JJ stent. The mean hospital stay was 5 days. The final results were assessed at 6 months after surgery, when the mean (SD) nuclear scan result was 30 (7.4) mL/min. Conclusion Laparoscopic pyeloplasty is a safe and effective option which can produce satisfactory results both clinically and radiologically.
