Abstract

Objective: To analyze whether the application of laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of pyeloureteral junction obstruction (PUJO) has been beneficial for pediatric patients.

Materials and methods: Medical records of all patients undergoing PUJO surgery from January 1997 to December 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients with <6-month follow-up and patients undergoing video-assisted surgery were excluded. Open surgery was compared with laparoscopic surgery. The following data were collected: surgical approach, need for and type of urinary diversion, operating time, mean hospital stay, complications, and restenosis rate. Ultrasound and diuretic renogram parameters were also retrieved.

Results: 328 Anderson-Hynes pyeloplasties were analyzed, 142 of which had been performed laparoscopically. Overall success rate was 96.6%, and complication rate was 11.9%. No significant differences were noted between open and laparoscopic surgery. In 97.5% of surgeries, urine was diverted using an external nephroureteral catheter, a double J stent, or a Salle stent, with significant differences between open and laparoscopic surgery. Mean operating time was significantly longer in laparoscopic surgery. Mean hospital stay was significantly shorter in the laparoscopic surgery group.

Conclusion: Surgical approach does not play a role in PUJO surgery success. Therefore, in our view, laparoscopic surgery should be the technique of choice in pediatric patients.

Objetivo: Analizar si la aplicación de la cirugía laparoscópica en el tratamiento de la estenosis pieloureteral (EPU) han sido beneficiosos para el paciente pediátrico.

Material y metodo: Hemos revisado de forma retrospectiva las historias clínicas de todos aquellos pacientes intervenidos de EPU desde enero 1997 hasta diciembre 2017. Se excluyeron las que tuvieron seguimiento menor a 6 meses, y las cirugías videoasistidas. Se han comparado la cirugía abierta con la cirugía laparoscópica. Se han recogido los siguientes datos: abordaje quirúrgico, necesidad y tipo de derivación urinaria, tiempo quirúrgico, estancia media, complicaciones, tasa de reestenosis. Los parámetros ecográficos y del renograma diurético también han sido recogidos.

Resultados: Se han analizado 328 pieloplastias, 142 se realizaron laparoscópicamente. La tasa de éxito global ha sido del 96,6%, existiendo un 11,9% de complicaciones; sin existir diferencias significativas entre la cirugía abierta y la laparoscópica. En el 97,5% de las cirugías, la orina se derivó mediante catéter nefroureteral externo, catéter doble J o catéter tipo Salle; existiendo diferencias entre cirugía abierta y laparoscópica. El tiempo quirúrgico medio fue significativamente superior en la cirugía laparoscópica. La estancia media fue menor en el grupo de cirugía laparoscópica de forma significativa.

Conclusion: La vía de abordaje no es un factor que influya en el éxito de la cirugía de la EPU, por ello pensamos que la cirugía laparoscópica es la técnica de elección en pacientes pediátricos.
