Abstract
Objective

To analyze the initial experience in our first patients with ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) treated by laparoscopic surgery.

Patients and methods

All laparoscopic Anderson-Hynes pyeloplasties performed from July 2007 to April 2009 were analyzed. Before surgery, patients underwent a renal ultrasound and isotope renogram. A double J catheter was left in place and subsequently removed. Patients were followed up by ultrasound and renography.

Results

Fourteen patients with a median age of 8.6 years were analyzed. Preoperative ultrasound showed a median renal pelvis diameter of 34.5mm. Median operating time was 235min, and median hospital stay 5.5 days. Median renal pelvis diameter decreased in all patients (13.5mm).

Conclusions

Laparoscopy is an effective procedure for UPJO correction in children, although operating times are still long.

Resumen
Objetivo

Analizar la experiencia inicial en nuestros primeros pacientes afectos de estenosis pieloureteral tratados mediante cirugía laparoscópica.

Pacientes y métodos

Se han incluido todas las pieloplastias laparoscópicas tipo Anderson Hynes realizadas entre julio de 2007 y abril de 2009. Los pacientes fueron estudiados preoperatoriamente mediante ecografía renal, renograma isotópico. Se les dejó un tutor doble «J» que se retiró posteriormente. El seguimiento ha sido ecográfico y renográfico.

Resultados

Catorce pacientes con una media de edad de 8,6 años. El estudio ecográfico prequirúrgico mostró una media del diámetro de la pelvis renal de 34,5mm. El tiempo quirúrgico medio ha sido de 235min. La estancia media fue de 5,5 días. En todos los pacientes ha habido una disminución de la media del diámetro de la pelvis renal (13,5mm).

Conclusiones

La laparoscopia es técnica eficaz para la corrección de la estenosis pieloureteral en la edad pediátrica, a pesar de que los tiempos quirúrgicos aún son elevados.
