UPJ obstruction is a congenital narrowing of the ureter.
Using minimally invasive robotic methods, surgeons are able
to perform the reconstructive surgery with very high precision
through four incisions that are only a half-inch or less. Operative
times with the robot, as compared to traditional open pyeloplasty,
have not decreased; but the hospital stay is decreased from
three days to one.
