Aim:
We present a case of simultaneous bilateral robot assisted pyeloplasty (RAP)
with multiple large stone extraction from several calyces in the left kidney.
We also aim to discuss the advantages the Robotic platform provides in this
setting.
Methods:
Results:
Total operative time was 220 minutes, console time was170 minutes. Time for
stone extraction and retrieval was 25 minutes.Perurethral catheter removed
on POD1 and drains removed on POD2.DJ stents removed were removed
after 4 weeks
Conclusions:
Bilateral Robotic pyeloplasty can be accomplished with midline ports and
one additional port in either iliac fossa. Stones in setting of PUJO even upto
2 cm in size can be retrieved with the help of robotic instruments without resorting
to any other conventional methods of stone retrieval.
