UPJ obstruction is a congenital narrowing of the ureter
or the small, tube-like structure that carries urine from
the kidneys to the bladder. Using minimally invasive robotic
methods, surgeons are able to perform the reconstructive
surgery with very high precision through four incisions of
a half-inch or less. Operative times with the da
Vinci® S Surgical System, as compared to traditional
open pyeloplasty, have not decreased; but the hospital stay
is decreased from three days to one.
