Clinical value of the adjustable suspension technique in laparoscopic pyeloplasty

Objective: The aim of our study was to explore the efficacy and safety of adjustable suspension in laparoscopic pyeloplasty (ASLP) and single-line pelvis suspension in laparoscopic pyeloplasty (SLPSLP) for isolated ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) in children. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of all the children with isolated UPJO who underwent laparoscopic pyeloplasty (LP) at Fujian Children's Hospital between July 2019 and July 2023. We collected data from the medical records of all the children and analysed their clinical characteristics as well as their operative and follow-up data. Results: = 0.372). Conclusion: Compared with SLPSLP, ASLP is advantageous in that it is minimally invasive, has a shorter operation time, and causes less bleeding. Thus, compared with conventional LP, adjustable suspension in laparoscopic pyeloplasty involving a minimally invasive fascia closure device for paediatric isolated UPJO is safe and effective.
