Robot-assisted pyeloplasty and pyelolithotomy in patient with osteogenesis imperfecta
Robot-assisted pyeloplasty is currently the technique of choice for cases of pyelo-ureteral junction obstruction (UPJO). It may be accompanied by pyelolithotomy in cases of associated lithiasis. The presence of body abnormalities, as in the rare case of osteogenesis imperfecta, can complicate the procedure, starting from a different way of positioning the robotic ports and the number of them. Therefore, we present a case report with an accompanying video that can serve as a guide for similar cases. Keywords: Robotic-assisted pyeloplasty, pyelolithotomy, osteogenesis imperfecta
