N2 - Purpose: To present our initial experience with laparoscopic pyeloplasty utilizing the da Vinci™ robot for upper tract reconstruction. Case Report: A four-port transperitoneal approach was used in a 73-year-old man. The ureteropelvic (UPJ) obstruction was identified with a crossing vessel. After dismemberment of the UPJ, the renal pelvis was trimmed and reconstructed using the da Vinci robot. The total operative time was 5 hours; the time spent for reconstruction was 45 minutes. Blood loss was <150 mL. The postoperative analgesic requirement was 8 mg of morphine and 25 mg of hydrocodone. There were no intraoperative or postoperative complications. Conclusion: The da Vinci robot can serve as a vital surgical tool during pyeloplasty with extensive reconstruction.
