Abstract/OtherAbstract:
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the experimental feasibility of laparoscopic computer-assisted pyeloplasty for pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fourteen pyeloplasties were undertaken in pigs using a laparoscopic transperitoneal approach and the robotic surgical system (da Vinci, Intuitive Surgical Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, USA). RESULTS: The robotic surgical system provides real-time three-dimensional stereoscopic vision. Manipulating the intracorporeal endo-wristed instruments from a remote console allows laparoscopic manoeuvres that are as easy as those during open surgery. Surgeons with no particular experience in laparoscopic surgery could learn complex surgery easily and quickly. CONCLUSION: This technique provides faster training and the possibility of undertaking complex laparoscopic procedures, especially reconstructive, with less fatigue for the surgeon.
