We report our results and short term follow up of transperitoneal laparoscopic pyeloplasty for pelvi-ureteric junction (PUJ) obstruction. We have prospectively maintained a database to document our initial experience of 54 laparoscopic pyeloplasty. All procedures were carried out by one surgeon through a transperitoneal approach. The data extends from April 2005 to September 2008 and reports operative time, blood loss, complications, hospital stay, short term follow-up on symptomatic and radiological outcome. Fifty-four procedures were performed during the study period. Mean patient age was 29 years. Mean operating time was 133 minutes (range 65-300 minutes), and mean blood loss was 45 ml (range 20-300 ml). No intra operative complication occurred. Neither blood transfusion nor conversion to open surgery was required. Postoperative mean hospital stay was 3.4 days (range 3-14 days). There were 3 anastomotic leakages; 2 in the immediate postoperative period and 1 following removal of stent. They all required percutaneous drainage and prolonged stenting. Overall 47 (87%) patients have symptomatic relief and resolution of obstruction on renogram. Four (7%) patients developed recurrence. Three (5.5%) patients had symptomatic relief but have a persistent obstructive renogram. Laparoscopic pyeloplasty is an effective alternative treatment for symptomatic pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction. The results appear comparable to open pyeloplasty with decreased postoperative morbidity.Item Type
