26.6 Technical Points andSkills
1. Preoperative cystoscopy showed that there was no cervical structure in the prostatic utricle cyst. If there was any cervical struc­ture, it was mullerian duct residue. Simply excision of prostatic utricle cysts can be performed.
2. The bladder was drawn and the operative area was fully exposed. A tube can be placed in the cyst during cystoscopy, and uid can be injected to enlarge the cyst if necessary, which can help identify the structure of the cyst.
3. Pay attention to heat injury during sugery and, avoid injury to the accessory pudendal artery, which may lead to adult erectile dysfunction,
4. Make clear the position of the bilateral vas deferens into the prostatic utricle cyst, keep at least 0.5cm of residual end when cutting the top of the cyst, and pay attention to avoid damaging the vas deferens, rectum, and ureter.
5. The edge of the proximal and distal stump of the prostatic utricle cyst should be left at least
0.5–0.7 cm for suturing, and 6-0 Biosyn suture should be used to meet the balance of tension and absorption time.
6. Give attention to the exible function of the robot wrist. Sutures can be used to sew half a circle continuously from 6 o’clock and tie a knot at 12 o’clock.
26.7 Postoperative Complications
1. Digestive system complications of rectal injury occur in free bleeding and unclear eld of vision, so the separation should be strictly hemostasis; in case of injury, remove the con­taminated tissue around the wound, suture the damaged area in two layers, and wash a lot with antibiotics.
2. Ureteral bladder injury often occurs when the posterior wall of the bladder is separated,
especially when the rectum depression perito-

neum reex incision is too high. Double-J tubes should be placed during treatment, and the damaged parts should be sutured and repaired.
3. Urethral stricture may be caused if the pros­tatic utricle cyst neck is excised too low. Intraoperative repair, indwelling catheteriza­tion for 2weeks, and cystoscopy for expan­sion are done if necessary.
4. Repeated urinary tract infection is a common complication. Drainage is unobstructed. Strengthened anti-inammatory can mini­mize urinary tract infection.
5. Vas deferens atresia caused by injury, scar adhesion, inammation, and infection can be intervened in adults.
26.8 Comparisons
withConventional Laparoscopic Surgery
Compared with traditional laparoscopic surgery, robotic surgery has congenital technical advan­tages, because of its precise surgical operation damage, so that the removal of prostatic utricle cyst can be performed at the same time as semi­nal reconstruction. There have been no reports of similar operations using laparoscopic techniques. The pelvic operation space is relatively small, and robotic surgical wrist instruments can be exibly used in this space. In addition, the direc­tion of anastomosis is parallel to the long axis of the human body. Traditional laparoscopic anasto­mosis is often difcult, the quality of the anasto­mosis is not high, and the relative complications will increase. However, robotic surgery can over­come this shortcoming, so it can also shorten the
hospital stay of patients. The main disadvantage of robotic surgery is the high cost, usually three times that of traditional laparoscopic surgery [9]. At present, due to the limited number of cases of this type of surgery, there is a lack of evidence to support that the long-term effects of robotic sur­gery due to traditional laparoscopic surgery.

Ureteroureterostomy for Duplicated Kidneys
GuangjieChen andHuixiaZhou
27
27.1 Introduction
Ureteroureterostomy was rst used for the treat­ment of duplicated kidneys and ureters. It has been reported that the incidence rate of duplica­tion of the kidneys and ureters in children is approximately 2%. Due to its special pathologi­cal anatomical structure, most patients have uri­nary incontinence, recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs), and decreased renal function [1, 2]. There are various surgical plans for dupli­cated kidneys and ureters, among which uretero­ureterostomy is a commonly used surgical procedure. However, open ureteroureterostomy has disadvantages of more trauma, more intraop­erative loss of blood, and longer hospital stay time. Laparoscopic surgery is difcult for begin­ners because of the long learning curve and

higher technical requirements for the surgeon. With the upgrading of robotic surgical systems, the robot- assisted laparoscopic ureteroureteros­tomy has gradually been recognized by pediatric urologists, due to its advantages, such as ne operation and stability [3]. This chapter will pro­vide an overview of pediatric robot-assisted lapa­roscopic ureteroureterostomy.
27.2 Indication andContradiction
Indications: duplicated kidneys with symptoms such as recurrent UTIs, urinary incontinence, or pain. Progressive aggravation of hydronephrosis and decreased renal function. Radionuclide renogram shows that the affected kidney is still worth preserving [4].
Contradictions: uncontrolled pyonephrosis
status; the affected moiety is nonfunctional or the renogram is not developed [4].

(a) Detailed history collection and physical
examination: including renal diseases or amniotic uid abnormalities are found dur­ing the fetal period, recurrent febrile UTIs, urinary incontinence that cannot be relieved, and perineal physical examination (female patients) that reveals ectopic ureteral opening

G. Chen and H. Zhou
(b) Laboratory tests: routine blood and urine
tests, liver and kidney function, electrolytes, blood glucose, and coagulation function. Bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests are required for coinfected patients
(c) Imaging examinations: The presence of uri-
nary tract dilation, ureteral cysts, and ecto­pic ureteral openings could be detected by urinary tract ultrasound and magnetic reso­nance urography. ECT examination should be performed to obtain the renal function and determine whether to undergo nephrec­tomy and ureterectomy on the affected side. Voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) examination should be performed to under­stand the presence of the lower pole system vesicoureteral reux (VUR), and the anas­tomosis of the upper pole ureter to the lower pole ureter should be avoided when VUR exists
(d) Preoperative medication adjustment: UTIs
should be controlled before the operation, and broad-spectrum antibiotics are recom­mended to be prophylactically used 30 min­utes preoperatively to reduce the risk of infection.
(e) Fasting semi-uid for 6 hours before surgery,
water forbination for 2 hours before surgery, skin preparation, catheterization, preopera­tive sterilization, blood preparation, and cor­rection of severe anemia and water and electrolyte disorder. Surgical instruments include selecting the matching operating instruments according to the size of the child, and routinely equip ping them with ultra­sonic knives or LigaSure.
27.4 Position andDocking
Position (a) After anesthesia, the lithotomy position was
taken rst, and a double-J stent was indwelt into the lower pole ureter through cystoscopy.
(b) Then, the patient was placed in the supine
position, the affected side was padded, and the patient was xed.
Port Placement (a) An 8 mm lens was inserted around the umbili-
cus to establish pneumoperitoneum and main­tain a pressure of 8–10 mmHg (Fig. 27.1).
(b) Two 8 mm operating holes were placed
above and below the umbilicus. The dis­tances between the two holes and the umbili­cal are equal, ensuring that the distance between the two holes ≥ 6 cm.
(c) A 5 mm auxiliary operating hole was placed
on the midline between the above operating hole and the lens hole.
27.5 Surgical Procedure
(a) Ureteral dissection
Intraoperative X-ray imaging will be useful to conrm the stent placement if the surgeon is concerned about the location of the distal end of the double-J stent. The peritoneum is then incised medial to the spermatic cord and above the vas deferens (the girl is medial to the ovar­ian vessels and above the ovary at the pelvic cavity). The dilated ureter of the upper kidney and the normal ureter of the lower kidney were exposed. The upper ureter was dissociated downward at pelvic level, and the excess upper ureter was transected (Fig. 27.2a, b).
(b) Anastomosis
End-to-side anastomosis was performed after the upper ureter was transected. A lon­gitudinal incision was made on the recipient ureter with a length of about 1–1.5 cm. Absorbable sutures of 5-0 and 6-0 cm are recommended for use in elderly children and infants, respectively (Fig. 27.2c, d). The color of the suture could be easily identied. The donor ureter could be drawn with a 2-0 suture if necessary, which was indwelt through the abdominal wall.
(c) Ureteral stump dissection
Resection of the pelvic ureteral stump is dif­cult during open ureteroureterostomy. The visual eld is good during robot-assisted lap­aroscopic surgery and can be magnied 10 times, which is conducive for the resection of ureteral stump. The upper ureter was com-

pletely released and disconnected close to the bladder. The ureteral stump should be sutured and ligated if vesicoureteral reux exists; oth­erwise, the stump can be left open. It is important to avoid damaging the lower ureter. Moreover, attention should be paid on protec­tion of the vas deferens and the fallopian tube or ovarian for male and female patients, respectively. In addition, an excessive release of the ureter may impact the function of uri­nary control, especially when the ureter is abnormally opened in the bladder neck [5].
27.6 Technical Points and Skills
(a) The peritoneum is incised medial to the sper-
matic cord and above the vas deferens (the girl is medial to the ovarian vessels and above the ovary). Pay attention to the protec­tion of gonads and gonadal vessels.
(b) The longitudinal incision of the recipient
ureter was selected at the entrance of the brim. The position is shallow, and it is easy to anastomose. If the incision selection is too low, it may lead to difcult anastomosis.
(c) The incision length of the lower ureter is
consistent with the diameter of the upper ure­ter. The ureter needs to be tailored if its diameter is >1.5 cm, which could be per­formed in the abdominal cavity or by pulling it out from the auxiliary hole.
(d) The recipient ureter should be dissociated as
little as possible to reduce the damage to the ureteral blood supply, which may cause anas­tomotic stenosis. Because the ureter of this area is relatively xed, it can be easily anasto­mosed without traction during the operation. Procedures such as clamping of the ureter should be avoided to minimize injury.
27.7 Postoperative Complications
27.7.1 Urine Leakage
Urine leakage stimulates the posterior perito­neum, causing symptoms such as intestinal
obstruction, malignancy, vomiting, and abdomi­nal pain. Ultrasound examination can indicate a urinary cyst or uid accumulation around the anastomotic eld, while a small amount of uid accumulation may also exist in the early postop­erative period. Complete resection of the obstructed upper ureter can reduce the ureteral tension during anastomosis, enabling tension­free anastomosis possible. Fine anastomosis of the mucosa-to-mucosa can reduce the risk of urine leakage. “Indigo carmine” can be used to check if there is urine leakage after the anasto­mosis. The placement of ureteral stents can reduce the risk of urine leakage. If urine leakage persistently exists when the ureteral stent is clear, percutaneous nephrostomy may possibly be performed. If the above-mentioned methods do not work, reoperation needs to be considered.
27.7.2 Structure
Fine operation of tissue and reasonable use of electrocautery enable the tension-free ureteral anastomosis, which could reduce the occurrence of anastomotic stenosis. It should be noted that if the stenosis occurs at the Y-shaped anastomosis, it will affect function of both the upper and lower kidneys. In addition, it is still controversial whether the ureteral diameter differences affect the success rate of surgery; however, some researchers consider that the size of the ureteral diameter is not the key factor affecting the suc­cess rate of surgery [6].
27.7.3 Ureteral Stump Symptoms
Clinical manifestations were abdominal pain and urinary tract infection if the ureteral stump existed persistently. VCUG should be performed routinely before operation in order to exclude vesicoureteral reux. To reduce the stump infec­tion and reoperation rate, the stump should be resected as much as possible. The ureteral stump was cut off and ligated in the case of reux or left open if reux was absent [7].

27.8 Comparisons withConventional Laparoscopic Surgery
At present, there are few studies comparing RUU and laparoscopic ureteroureterostomy for ure­teral anastomosis. Some studies have indicated that RUU has some advantages in terms of hospi­tal stay, recovery time, and suture time, but no obvious advantages in the rates of postoperative complications and recurrence [8, 9].
Currently, the effect of RUU has been con­rmed by short-term postoperative follow-up. RUU has more advantages than open surgery in the management of ureteral stumps. However, tissue management during robotic surgery is different from that during open surgery, so long­term continuous postoperative follow-up is still needed to evaluate the long-term surgical effect [10].
Surgical cost is an inevitable problem for robotic surgery, possibly because the fact that robotic surgery is not cost-effective due to its high xed costs. However, robotic surgery could become more cost-effective if hospital stays are signicantly reduced compared to standard open surgery [11]. To the authors' knowledge, no studies have analyzed the specic costs of RUU in children. In the future, as more robot manufacturers enter the market, the cost of robotic surgery may decrease.
Currently, there is some debate about whether robotic platform surgery is suitable for pediat­rics. Robot-assisted pyeloplasty has been widely used in children and has been shown to have the same high success rate and shorter hospital stay as open surgery. The results of this procedure are acceptable, but the additional cost of the procedure is a problem [12, 13]. However, for ureteral replantation surgery, relevant reports show that compared with open surgery, robot­assisted ureteral replantation has more compli­cations, a lower success rate, and a higher surgical cost [14]. The choice of robotic plat­form surgery needs to be case-by-case, and some patients, such as older children or obese patients, may benet more from a minimally invasive approach. It is important for pediatric
urology to explore suitable indications for robotic surgery.

28.1 Introduction
Adrenal tumors are the most common retroperi­toneal tumors in children. Neuroblastoma is the most common pathological type, and lesions such as pheochromocytomas, adrenal cortex neoplasms and adrenal cysts are also found in this age-group [1, 2]. Neuroblastoma accounts for about 10% of solid tumors in children, and about 70% of them originate from the adrenal gland. Since the biological behavior of neuro­blastoma is characterized by early lymphatic and hematogenous metastasis, most patients have vascular encased and distant metastasis at the time of presentation. However, there is also a proportion of patients whose tumors are diag­nosed to be conned to the adrenal area, and in these patients, minimally invasive surgery can be performed. Several studies have found that lapa­roscopic adrenal tumor resection in cases with­out image- dened risk factors (IDRF) is safe and feasible [37]. However, after the peritoneal

adrenal area is a small area composed of liver and kidney or spleen and kidney, and the tumor is often clinging to the inferior vena cava or abdominal aorta, this minimally invasive surgery presents a great challenge to surgeons. After the birth of the surgical robot, it soon showed obvi­ous advantages with the exibility and precision of its robotic arm, making the minimally inva­sive resection of adrenal tumors safer and easier [810].
28.2 Indications
andContraindications
The da Vinci technique can theoretically be applied to all adrenal tumors without IDRF.However, we must pay attention to the fol­lowing points. First, since a large part of adrenal neuroblastoma in small infants, especially neo­nates, tends to spontaneously regress, surgery is not the rst choice of treatment, and only patients with tumor progression during close clinical observation need surgery. Second, if the tumor is too large, it may increase the risk of tumor rup­ture, but a diameter of more than 5cm is not an absolute contraindication to robotic surgery. The ratio of tumor volume and abdominal cavity space is more important, as long as there is enough exposure space, robotic surgery is feasi­ble [8].
Adrenal tumors with IDRFs are contraindi-
cated for robotic surgery.
