All 12 children were treated with single-port-plus-one robotic laparoscopic Lich-Gregoir direct nipple ureteral extravesical reimplantation. Five of them were female and seven were male, including nine cases were simple obstructive type, while the remaining three cases were obstructive with reflux type. The mean age of the children was 17.33\u2009\u00b1\u20096.99 (10\u201336) months and the mean follow-up time was 14.16\u2009\u00b1\u20091.75 (12\u201317) months.

The mean indwelling catheterization time was 2.25\u2009\u00b1\u20090.45 (2\u20133) days and the mean hospitalization time was 3.83\u2009\u00b1\u20090.39 (3\u20134) days. At the postoperative first year, the ureteral diameter, calyceal diameter, and anterior\u2013posterior renal pelvic diameter were found to be significantly smaller than at the preoperative period (18.83\u2009\u00b1\u20093.21\u2005mm vs. 6.83\u2009\u00b1\u20091.27\u2005mm, 13.99\u2009\u00b1\u20093.58\u2005mm vs. 3.5\u2009\u00b1\u20092.90\u2005mm, and 34.92\u2009\u00b1\u20094.25\u2005mm vs. 10.08\u2009\u00b1\u20091.88\u2005mm, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic><jats:bold><jats:italic>\u2009<\/jats:italic><\/jats:bold>&amp;lt;\u20090.001).

The design of a single-port-plus-one wound can produce a cosmetic appearance by concentrating and hiding the wound around the umbilicus. This modified reimplantation procedure has the potential to become a promising technique in the robot-assisted treatment of primary obstructive megaureter.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fped.2023.1238918","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,3]],"date-time":"2023-11-03T06:04:20Z","timestamp":1698991460000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Single-port-plus-one robot-assisted laparoscopic modified Lich-Gregoir direct nipple ureteral extravesical reimplantation in children with a primary obstructive megaureter"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Yufeng","family":"He","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shan","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xinru","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shaohua","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Huihuang","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guangxu","family":"You","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jianglong","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Di","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"315","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-5347(17)73776-7","article-title":"Megaloureter: the importance of the ureterovesical valve","volume":"9","author":"Caulk","year":"1923","journal-title":"J Urol"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"160","DOI":"10.1016\/0090-4295(78)90327-8","article-title":"Primary megaureter in children and adults.
