“…No significant increase in operative time was noted in retroperitoneoscopic approach compared to open approach in contrast to previous studies [21]; [22] . Operative time in our study was similar to previous published retroperitoneoscopic pyeloplasty studies (ranging from 123 minutes to 140 minutes) [9]; [23]; [24] .…”

“…Minimally invasive options like balloon dilatation, antegrade or retrograde endopyelotomy (laser, cold-knife or electrocautery) and endopyeloplasty have not provided sufficient and durable clinical efficacy for routine recommendation [1][2][3][4]. In 1993, Schuessler et al [5] started using laparoscopic pyeloplasty (LP), which had emerged as an alternative to open pyeloplasty and with comparable results [6,7]. However, LP is technically difficult and requires extensive training, experience and advanced laparoscopic skills for precise tissue dissection and intracorporeal suturing Robot-assisted LP (RALP) bypasses the shortcomings of the pure laparoscopic technique while maintaining its minimally invasive status by providing magnified threedimensional vision, improved dexterity and several degrees of movements of the instruments.…”

“…To determine surgeon volume for each patient, we identified the number of ureteropelvic junction obstruction procedures performed by the patient's surgeon in the year of the patient's surgery. Surgeon volume was categorized into three groups: Low ( £ 2), intermediate (3)(4), and high ( ‡ 5).…”
