UPJ obstruction is a congenital narrowing of the ureter.
Using minimally invasive robotic methods, surgeons are able
to perform the reconstructive surgery with very high precision
through four incisions that are only a half-inch or less.
Operative times with the robot, as compared to traditional
open pyeloplasty, have not decreased; but the hospital stay
is decreased from three days to one.
