Abstract
Dismembered pyeloplasty is the gold standard surgery for resolution in a pelviureteric junction (PUJ) obstruction. Laparoscopic pyeloplasty is gaining worldwide acceptance, with a similar success rate as the open technique. However, laparoscopic pyeloplasty is one of the most demanding minimally invasive surgeries in pediatric urology. In this chapter we explain step-by-step the surgical protocol that we use in our unit, with some trends in minimally invasive surgery performed around the world. We hope that this chapter would be a handful instrument for those who would like to develop this technique as well as the following generations in their development as pediatric urologists.
