Research progress on robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery for pediatric hydronephrosis
Hydronephrosis is a common disease of the urinary system in children,which is mainly caused by the ureteropelvic junction obstruction(UPJO).The effective treatment way to hydronephrosis caused by UPJO is surgical approach.In recent years,the application of Da Vinci surgical system in pediatric urology has attracted more and more attention,and most studies focused on the efficacy and safety of robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty in children with hydronephrosis.The research progress of robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty for pediatric hydronephrosis in children is summarized in this paper.
