Abstract

Laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) pyeloplasty is an attractive alternative procedure for uretero-pelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction. This procedure offers excellent cosmesis and similar surgical outcomes to conventional laparoscopic pyeloplasty. Pediatric patients are reported to be particularly suitable for LESS, because the size of the surgical incision in pediatric patients increases with growth. There are increasing numbers of reports of LESS being tried in pediatric cases. In this chapter, we describe our recent operative methods and important technical points for LESS pyeloplasty in children.
