One of the complex upper urinary tract anomalies is a duplicated collecting system. In cases with a functioning upper moiety, ureteroureterostomy (UU) is the preferred operation to redirect the urine to the normal collecting system. Although open UU is a well-described operation, experience with laparoscopic repair pediatric patients is scarce. We describe the successful application of laparoscopic UU in 2 children and suggest that laparoscopic UU for the duplicated collecting system is a promising minimally invasive procedure.
上尿路复杂畸形之一是重复的收集系统。在上半部分功能正常的情况下,输尿管-输尿管吻合术(UU)是将尿液重新引导到正常收集系统的首选手术。虽然开放的 UU 是一种描述完善的手术,但在小儿患者中应用腹腔镜修复的经验却很少。我们描述了腹腔镜 UU 在 2 例儿童中的成功应用,并认为腹腔镜 UU 治疗重复收集系统是一种很有前途的微创方法。
