The mean follow-up duration was 34 months (4\u201370 months). The robotic approach was most commonly used in nine patients followed by a laparoscopic and open approach, each in four patients, respectively. Only one patient had an intraoperative complication. One patient required conversion to an open approach. The mean operative duration in open, laparoscopic and robotic approaches was 102 min, 105 min and 140 min, whereas the mean hospital stay was 6.50 days, 3.25 days and 4.22 days, respectively. Post-operative complications occurred in 29.41% of patients with Clavien grade \u22653 complications in one case only (5.88%). Success was 94.12% without any salvage intervention.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Pyeloplasty is a feasible, effective and safe procedure even in complex cases of renal anatomic anomalies with PUJ obstruction.
