pyeloplasty

A pyeloplasty can either be done by the robotic, open, or laparoscopic route.

Robot-assisted laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty: A combined experience.

Chronic upper urinary tract obstruction is treated by the insertion of a ureteric stent or a pyeloplasty.

These include the Y-V, Inverted 'U,' and Dismembered types of pyeloplasty.

In urology, surgical robots contributed in laparoscopic approaches for pyeloplasty or nephrectomy or prostatic interventions.

The dismembered type of pyeloplasty (called as Anderson-Hynes pyeloplasty) is the most common type of pyeloplasty.

Another technique of pyeloplasty is Culp's pyeloplasty, in this method a flap is rotated from dilated pelvis to decrease narrowing of ureter.

In addition to his work on urinary catheters, Foley also described a novel technique for treating strictures of the pelvi-ureteric junction which is known as the Foley Operation or the Foley Y-plasty pyeloplasty.
