No. 095 Laparoscopic lower pole vessels transposition for intermittent PUJ obstruction in children • Y Heloury*, M O’Brien*, F Becmeur**, H Lardy**, MD Leclair** • Royal Childrens’ Hospital, Parkville, Victoria, Australia* • Nantes University Hospital, France** Introduction The transposition of lower pole vessels (LPV) is increasingly used for correction of intermittent PUJ since the development of laparoscopy • Results • Mean operative time: 90 mn (45-160) • Mean hospital stay: 2 days (1-15) • Postoperative complications: 2 urinomas (1 JJ stent) • Evolution of symptoms • Disapearance of pain: 54/57 • Pain + increased dilatation: 1 (redo- surgery- Anderson Hynes pyeloplasty) • Pain + decrease of dilatation + good drainage: 2 • US • Decrease of the pelvic • size in 53/57 from 31 mm • (19-60) to 9 mm (4-27) • MAG-3 scan (n=36) • Function stable (n=34) or improved (n=2) • Drainage improved in 35 Aim The aim of this study was to determine the results of laparoscopic transposition of LPV • Methods • Retrospective (2003-2011) multicentric study of 57 cases with a median age of 9.8 years (2-17) • Inclusion criteria: symptomatic (pain) intermittent PUJ with LPV • Surgical technique • Lateral transperitoneal approach by laparoscopy (n=43) or robotic (n=14) • Vascular hitch at the anterior • part of the pelvis with • plication by 2 or 3 stiches • No drainage by internal stent • - Evaluation of the results • Modification of the symptoms • AP size of the pelvis on US • Function and drainage on the MAG-3 scan Pre and postoperative size of the pelvis Conclusions The transposition of LPV for intermittent PUJ obstruction is an effective method in selected cases in children. A long-term follow-up is necessary to confirm these preliminary results References 1. Godbole P, Mushtaq IT, Wilcox D, Duffy PG. Laparoscopic transposition of lower pole vessels. The vascular hitch.
