Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is a common cause of symptomatic ureteral obstruction. The aim of this study is to assess the outcome of laparoscopic pyeloplasty in patients with UPJO.<jats:italic> Patients and Methods<\/jats:italic>. Medical reports of 47 UPJO patients treated with laparoscopic pyeloplasty were retrospectively analysed. All patients were recruited from our center in the period 2004\u20132011.<jats:italic> Results<\/jats:italic>. We evaluated 47 patients. Mean age was 36 years and mean hospital stay 3.6 days. 42 (79%) of the patients had pain and 46 (98%) were diagnosed with hydronephrosis. 19 patients (40%) had a renal function below 40% of the affected kidney and 49% had impaired renal scan drainage. Postoperative significant improvement in pain score and renal scan drainage was found in 92% and 47% of the patients, respectively. Improvement of renal function &gt; 10% was found in 11 patients (23%); the function remained stable in 31 patients (66%) and deteriorated &gt; 10% in 5 patients (11%). We found no correlation between sex or age and the outcome.<jats:italic> Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. Laparoscopic pyeloplasty for UPJO leads to relief of pain and preserved or improved renal function in the majority of the patients. Overall laparoscopic pyeloplasty is an efficient treatment for UPJO.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2017\/6743512","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,11]],"date-time":"2017-06-11T17:03:04Z","timestamp":1497200584000},"page":"1-4","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Laparoscopic Pyeloplasty for Ureteropelvic Junctions Obstruction in Adults: 6 Years\u2019 Experience in One Center"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2017","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9012-8643","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Rikke S\u00f8gaard","family":"Tolstrup","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Aalborg University Hospital, Aalborg, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marie Thue","family":"Pank","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Aalborg University Hospital, Aalborg, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lotte","family":"Sander","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Aalborg University Hospital, Aalborg, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Torben","family":"D\u00f8rflinger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Aalborg University Hospital, Aalborg, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"year":"1996","edition":"14","key":"1"},{"journal-title":"Journal of Endourology","year":"2016","key":"2"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-1-4614-1156-7"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/21681805.2013.780184"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00345-015-1586-4"},{"key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/lap.2012.0142"},{"key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12262-011-0237-2"},{"key":"9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5152\/tud.2014.06956"}],"container-title":["BioMed Research International"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/bmri\/2017\/6743512.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/bmri\/2017\/6743512.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/bmri\/2017\/6743512.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,11]],"date-time":"2017-06-11T17:03:04Z","timestamp":1497200584000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/bmri\/2017\/6743512\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2017]]},"references-count":8,"alternative-id":["6743512","6743512"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2017\/6743512","relation":{},"ISSN":["2314-6133","2314-6141"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"2314-6133"},{"type":"electronic","value":"2314-6141"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2017]]}}}
