sion to open abdominal surgery due to massive bleeding.
Indications:
(a) Split renal function <10%; (b) Recurrent urinary tract infections; (c) Drip urine or continuous wet pants, consider-
ing ectopic ureteral orice.
Contraindications:
With the progress of technology, accumula­tion of experience, and upgrading of equipment, some contraindications of robotic surgery will gradually become relative contraindications or indications, but there are still some cases that are not suitable for robotic surgery.
(a) Vital signs are unstable, the function of
important organs is poor, such as cardiopul­monary function, and pneumoperitoneum that cannot be tolerated;
(b) Urinary tract infection has not been
controlled;
(c) History of severe abdominal trauma or severe
adhesion in the surgical area;
(d) Solitary kidney or bilateral polycystic renal
dysplasia;
(e) Secondary renal dysplasia caused by the
congenital posterior urethral valve.
23.3 Preoperative Preparation
Due to the limited abdominal space, robotic sur­gery for children, especially infants, is a difcult and high-risk operation. Adequate preoperative preparation is particularly important for the smooth implementation of the whole operation process and postoperative recovery. The kidney is an important organ of the human body. It has the functions of removing internal metabolites and regulating water, electrolyte, and acid-base balance, as well as endocrine function, which is very important to ensure the stability of the internal environment. Therefore, strict indications are needed when plan­ning the surgical procedures of nephrectomy.
(a) Preoperative laboratory examination: routine
blood tests, urine tests, fecal tests, liver and kidney function tests, electrolyte, blood glu­cose, blood type, etc.;
(b) Perfect preoperative imaging examination:
ultrasonic Doppler and MRU examination should be performed to understand the size and location of the affected kidney and the possibility of ectopic kidney. Preoperative VCUG examination should be performed to understand whether there is vesicoureteral reux and a posterior urethral valve. Preoperative ECT examination should be performed to understand renal function and provide a basis for nephrectomy. Personalized surgical plans need to be formulated, and possible risks are fully assessed;
(c) Preoperative nutritional support could correct
malnutrition. If necessary, preoperative blood transfusion could correct severe anemia;
(d) Preoperative drug adjustment: urinary tract
infection should be controlled before sur­gery, and prophylactic broad-spectrum anti­biotics 24h before surgery are recommended to reduce the risk of postoperative infection;
(e) Vaccination: children undergoing elective
nephrectomy can receive preventive multiple vaccines, including pneumonia vaccine, inuenza vaccine, and meningitis vaccine, twoweeks before operation; children under­going emergency surgery can also be vacci­nated 30days after surgery;
(f) Routine preoperative preparation: gastroin-
testinal preparation, preoperative fasting for 8 h, preoperative water prohibition for 2h, emptying the intestine by glycerine enema, skin preparation, catheterization, preopera­tive disinfection, and correction of hydro­electrolyte disorder if necessary;
(g) Surgical instruments: select the appropriate
surgical instruments according to the condi­tion of the child, and regularly equip with an ultrasonic scalpel or ligator. Due to the risk of massive intraoperative bleeding, it is rec­ommended that qualied units use autolo­gous blood transfusion devices.

23.4 Position andDocking
Surgical position should be determined accord­ing to the patient’s condition.
(a) The affected side kidney is in situ: the patient
takes the healthy side lying position, the affected side is padded 50–70°, the abdomi­nal wall is close to the edge of the bed, the affected side upper limb droops naturally, and the healthy side upper limb is abducted and supported by a hand support plate. The lower limb of the healthy side was exed downward, and the lower limb of the affected side was exed slightly backward and down­ward. All stressed parts are padded with sponge pads and xed with adhesive tape. An 8mm lens was inserted around the umbilicus to establish pneumoperitoneum and maintain the pneumoperitoneum pressure of 8–10 mmHg. Two 8 mm dermatoglyphic incisions were respectively made on the
Pfannestiel line in the middle of the umbili­cus and under the xiphoid process in the middle of the umbilicus, and an operating arm was installed. A 5mm auxiliary operat­ing hole was disposed downward between the lens hole and the upper abdominal oper­ating hole (Fig.23.1a).
(b) The affected side of the kidney is ectopic,
generally renal dysplasia accompanying ectopic kidney, commonly in the pelvic cav­ity: children take the head low foot high lithotomy position, all stressed parts are pad­ded with sponge pad and xed with adhesive tape. An 8 mm lens hole is placed at the upper edge of the umbilicus (if patient is young, the lens hole can be located 1–2cm above the umbilicus), pneumoperitoneum is established, two 8 mm operation holes are disposed at 6cm on the left and right sides, and a 5 mm auxiliary hole is placed above the operating hole on the affected side and the lens hole (Fig.23.1b).

23.5 Surgical Steps
Robot-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy is illustrated (taking renal dysplasia as an example)
(a) The lateral peritoneum and perirenal fascia
are opened at the lateral edge of the colon to expose the kidney through the peritoneal path;
(b) Release renal vessels and ureter: look for the
ureter on the inside of the psoas major mus­cle, pick up the ureter to the outside, and release its inner tissue to the lower part of the renal pedicle. Release the renal pedicle and expose its blood vessels;
(c) Separate all blood vessels in the renal pedi-
cle, ligate the proximal end of each vessel with hemo-lok clip, then completely discon­nect, and stop bleeding with an ultrasonic knife or scissors;
(d) The ureter was lifted to the distal end and cut
at the level of the iliac vessels, and the distal ureter was ligated with a hemo-lok clip;
(e) Release the residual adhesion between the
kidney and the surrounding tissue and com­pletely cut off the kidney;
(f) Put 8 mm cannula or glove through 8mm
trocar, put the removed kidney into the bag, pull out 8mm cannula or glove, expand the hole, and pull out the bag. Attention should be paid to avoid the kidney tissue remaining in the abdominal cavity due to the damage of air bag or gloves;
(g) Flush the renal fossa, check if there is
active bleeding, remove the abdominal uid, place the pelvic drainage tube, count the instruments, and remove the machine. The skin incision was sutured, and the operation was completed.
23.6 Technical Points andSkills
1. Because the abdominal cavity is narrow in children, especially infants, it is very impor­tant to have a good posture placement, as well as the design and establishment of the opera­tion channel. Generally, the healthy lateral decubitus position is 60–80°, so that the intra­operative exposure is good.
2. It is better that the abdomen of the child be close to the edge of the bed and arms be stretched forward and upward to create more space for the manipulator arm. Because the operation range of nephrectomy is large, sometimes the ureter also needs to be removed, so that the range of movement of the manipu­lator arm is also large. To avoid ghting between the robotic arms during the opera­tion, the distance between the two operating holes should be greater than 6cm.
3. Because of the lack of force feedback and the large clamping strength of the instruments, in the early application of the Da Vinci system, the clamping of tissues and organs such as intestines or blood vessels should be mini­mized to avoid excessive mechanical bite force and damage to organs and tissues. The double ligation of hemo-lock and silk thread is more reliable in the ligation of renal hilar vessels. After the operation, renal fossa drainage is helpful to observe postoperative bleeding.
23.7 Postoperative Complications
1. Hemorrhage is a common complication that usually occurs within 24 h after surgery. Hemorrhage is usually caused by injury to the
23 Robotic-Assisted Nephrectomy for Dysplasia Kidney
https://t.me/medicina_free
159
renal vein, adrenal vein, or branching vessel. Visceral injury (spleen, liver, intestine, or greater omentum) and injury to large blood vessels can also cause hemorrhage, but rarely, resulting in serious complications and even death.
2. Other postoperative complications, including retroperitoneal hematoma or abscess, wound infection, pneumothorax, and incisional her­nia, require timely detection and symptomatic treatment. Retroperitoneal hematoma or abscess and wound infection mainly need strengthening anti-infection treatment, and incision and drainage should be performed if necessary. Closed thoracic drainage was per­formed when pneumothorax occurred.
3. Prevention and treatment of complications: in all robotic surgeries, attention to detail and observation of anatomical markers, especially the large blood vessels and colon, can prevent the most dangerous complications. It is easy to over dissect the hilum in the treatment of renal vessels in nephrectomy. However, the dissection of renal vessels closer to the infe­rior vena cava is simpler, so over dissection of the hilum should be avoided. To avoid heat damage when separating the ventral kidney; it should be noted that the colon and duodenum are adjacent to the kidney. Thermal damage from the use of a cautery device can result in immediate or delayed intestinal perforation. Control of the renal vein should be avoided excessively close to the inferior vena cava to handle the adrenal vein and reproductive vein to prevent catastrophic massive bleeding.
23.8 Comparisons withConventional Laparoscopic Surgery
1. Compared with the traditional laparoscope,
the three-dimensional magnied eld of vision of the robot system is clearer and has higher resolution. This allows surgeons to more accurately identify blood vessels in the kidney during surgery without damaging them [9].
2. Robot system: the highly exible robotic arm
system can complete difcult operations such as grasping, holding, walking, hemostasis, suturing, and ligation in a narrow space, which cannot be achieved by laparoscopic instruments and human hands. Moreover, the robot system can lter the shaking of human hands, reduce the fatigue of surgeons, and reduce misoperation [10, 11].
3. There was no signicant difference in postop-
erative complications between laparoscopic and robotic-assisted radical nephrectomy. Robotic-assisted surgery costs more because the cost of the instruments is higher than that of traditional laparoscopic instruments [12, 13].
4. The learning curve of the robot system for dif-
cult surgery is signicantly shorter than that of traditional laparoscopy.
5. Bipolar coagulation and unipolar electrotome
can be used simultaneously in robot sys­tems, which helps reduce perioperative bleeding [14].

Ureteropelopic Junction Obstruction

24.1 Introduction
Ureteropelopic junction obstruction (UPJO) is a congenital ureteral abnormal disease caused by various causes of stricture of the junction between the renal pelvis and ureter and poor urinary drainage, leading to various symptoms, signs, and decline of renal function in patients, with an incidence of 1/600–1/800 [1, 2]. The main purpose of surgery is to remove the lesion, relieve obstruction, relieve symptoms, and protect renal function [3]. In the past, open pyeloplasty has been regarded as the gold stan­dard for the treatment of UPJO, but open sur­gery is traumatic, and recovery is slow. Since Chuessler rst reported laparoscopic pyelo­plasty in 1993, after more than 20 years of development, many studies have conrmed

that compared with open pyeloplasty, laparo­scopic pyeloplasty has the advantages of less pain, less trauma, faster recovery, and better cosmetic effect [4]. Moreover, the success rate of surgery is no lower than that of traditional open surgery. However, endoscopic suturing is difcult to tie knots and has a long learning curve, especially for children with limited abdominal space, which requires more techni­cal skills of the surgeon. The da Vinci robot­assisted laparoscopic surgery system has a 3D surgical perspective, and its robotic arm can reach a range of 7° of freedom, which greatly reduces the difculty of intramural anatomical separation, suture and knotting, and other ne operations [3, 5, 6]. The safety and effective­ness of robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty have been demonstrated, and its success rate is no lower than that of traditional laparoscopic and open surgery [7].

4. Renal function decreased progressively dur­ing the follow-up period (decreased by more than 5–10%).
5. Progressive deterioration of hydronephrosis (one step increase in SFU grade or 10mm or more in anterior and posterior diameter of renal pelvis).
6. Symptoms related to hydronephrosis (pain, repeated urinary tract infection, hematuria, stones, etc.).
Contraindications: there are generally no obvious contraindications to surgery unless vital signs are unstable or there is abnormal function of the heart, liver, lung and other organs. Patients with poor nutritional status and intolerance to anesthesia and pneumoperito­neum surgery. Relative contraindications include underweight. (<5 kg), or younger than 1 month. However, if you’re a skilled surgeon you can explore.
Bowel preparation included cleansing enema 24 hours before surgery, fasting for 8 hours and being water-free for 2 hours before surgery.
Preoperative antibiotics should be adminis­tered intravenously 30 minutes before surgery.
Depending on the half-life of the selected anti­biotics and the length of surgery, the drugs can be administered intraoperatively to ensure that the effective concentration of drugs covers the entire procedure. Urinary catheters and gastric tubes were used before the operation.
For patients with unclear diagnoses, preopera­tive cystoscopy catheterization and retrograde pyelography were used to determine the location of the obstruction (Fig. 24.1).
24.3 Preoperative Preparation
If there is a urinary tract infection, control the infection for 2 weeks before surgery.
Laboratory tests included routine hematuria, coagulation function, liver and kidney function, etc. Imaging tests include abdominal and urinary B-ultrasound, VCUG, MRU, ECT, etc. No opera­tion contraindications were found after anesthe­sia consultation.

24.4 Position andDocking
The patient was placed in the healthy side lat­eral decubitus position (the height of the affected side pad was 45–80°), the abdominal wall was placed close to the bed, the affected side upper limb was placed in the natural pendent position, and the healthy side upper limb was abducted and supported by the hand plate. The healthy side of the lower extremity is exed, and the affected side of the lower extremity is slightly backward and downward exed. All the stressed parts are padded with sponge pads, and if neces­sary, warm air heaters are used for insulation, and tapes or bandages are used for xation (Fig.24.2).
Fig. 24.2 Layout of the trocar for robotic-assisted lap­aroscopic pyeloplasty. An 8-mm lens was inserted through the umbilicus (point C) to establish pneumo­peritoneum, and the pneumoperitoneum pressure was maintained at 8-12 mmHg (1 mmHg= 0.133 kPa). Under direct vision, an 8 mm operation channel (No. 2 instrument arm) was inserted at the intersection of the superior margin of the pubic symphysis and the abdomi­nal transverse stria. A 5 mm (or 3 mm) auxiliary hole operation channel was placed in the upper abdomen of the healthy side 3 cm away from the lens arm (point A), and an 8 mm operation channel (No. 1 instrument arm) was placed under the xiphoid processes descending to the affected side. The distance between the two robotic arms was no less than 6 cm (the distance between the operation hole of the two instrument arms and the lens hole was basically the same). The intake of the pneumo­peritoneum tube should be replaced with the auxiliary hole, and the laparoscopic lens should be 30° downward
24.5 Surgical Steps
24.5.1 Determination theLesion Site
An electric shear is used to open the peritoneum on the lateral side of the colon and push the colon inward (paracolonic approach). Alternatively, the mesenteric window was opened (left mesenteric approach) (Fig. 24.3a) along the lower margin of the inferior mesenteric vein, the medial margin of the descending colon, the lateral margin of the spermatic vein, and the avascular area of the upper margin of the left colonic artery. The renal pelvis and upper ureter were dissociated and exposed, and the location and cause of obstruc­tion were determined (Fig. 24.3b).
24.5.2 Operation ofPyeloplasty
The dilated renal pelvis was cut in an arc, the upper pole of the renal pelvis was pulled by a traction line through the abdominal wall (Fig.24.3c), and the narrow segment of the ureter was excised. The lateral wall of the ureter was longitudinally cut for about 2.0cm (Fig. 24.3d), the lowest point of the renal pelvis (Fig. 24.3e) and the lowest split point of the ureter were sutured with a 6-0 absorbable line, and the poste­rior wall of the anastomosis was sutured continu­ously or discontinuously. Double J tubes were placed anterograde at the anastomosis (different types were selected according to the age and height of the child) (Fig. 24.3f). Double J showed stained urine outow, indicating that the end had entered the bladder (Fig. 24.3g). The anterior wall of the anastomosis and the extra opening pelvis were continuously sutured (Fig. 24.3h).
24.5.3 Indwelling Drainage Tube andClosing Incision
After rinsing the wound with warm normal saline, the abdominal effusion was washed and no active bleeding was conrmed in the operative eld. The

peritoneum or mesenteric window was sutured inter­mittently with a 5-0 absorbable line (Fig. 24.3i), the operating instruments of each robotic arm were withdrawn, the drainage tube was placed from the umbilical incision at the lowest part of the pelvic cavity under direct view, the pneumoperitoneum was closed, the operation channels were withdrawn, the peritoneum and the incision were sutured, and the skin edge was glued with medical adhesive.
24.6 Technical Points andSkills
If the pelvis is too small and the exposure is barely satisfactory, the ureter may be exposed rst. Avoid excessive dissociation of the ureter and pay attention to protecting the inner side of the ureter. Otherwise, poor vascular anastomosis will affect healing and even urine extravasation.
The renal pelvis should be irrigated several times before closure to avoid retention of blood clots and tissue residue resulting in obstruction and poor drainage.
Proper traction improves the efciency of exposure, dissection, and anastomosis.
Do not cut too much tissue, which will lead to excessive tension of anastomosis.
24.7 Postoperative Complications
1. Complications related to the establishment of
operating channels: the abdominal wall is thin, and the abdominal cavity is small in chil­dren. When establishing pneumoperitoneum or trocar puncture into the abdominal cavity, the abdominal vessels, intestine, diaphragm, pleura and substantial internal organs in the abdominal cavity may be accidentally injured. Once injury is found, suture and repair dam­aged blood vessels or tissue in time.
2. Complications related to robotic arms and
electrosurgical instruments: When the robotic surgeon is not at the bedside of the patient, he or she cannot notice whether the manipulator and the instrument arm contact and collide with the patient in vitro when operating on the operating table of the robotic surgeon. For
example, improper positioning and operation channel design can easily cause compression and collision injuries. Good posture place­ment, operation channel design and close cooperation between assistants can avoid such complications. Robotic surgery relies more on special instruments to complete various oper­ations in the body cavity. When using these instruments, complications may occur if improper operation or instrument failure occurs. Be familiar with electrosurgery, per­form surgical operations under direct vision, pay attention to the distinction and boundary between the heat conduction surface and insu­lation surface, and repair normal tissue imme­diately once found or suspected.
3. Hematuria: Postoperative hematuria is mostly caused by postoperative residual blood drain­age or internal stent tube stimulation. Conservative observation and treatment, such as full uid replenishment, drinking more water and less activity, can improve. In cases of excessive bleeding, anastomosis or renal pelvis bleeding should be considered, the amount of uid rehydration can be appropri­ately increased, and hemostatic drugs should be given to prevent or treat hematuria. Children with severe gross hematuria should be closely observed. In case of urinary duct blockage, timely ushing or replacement should be performed to keep catheter drainage unobstructed. Meanwhile, changes in hemo­globin should be closely monitored.
4. Low back pain and urinary tract irritation are generally caused by internal stent tube stimu­lation or poor drainage, and adequate uid rehydration to ensure urine volume and reduce activity can alleviate the above symptoms. When necessary, anticholinergic drugs can alleviate the above symptoms, and 4-8 weeks after the removal of the double-J tube can relieve them. Prevention: Intraoperative dou­ble-J tubes of appropriate type and length were selected according to the height of the child to maintain unobstructed internal drainage.
5. Anastomotic leakage is the most common complication after pyeloplasty and is usually
