THE FIRST EXPERIENCE OF PNEUMOVESICOSCOPIC URETERAL REIMPLANTATION IN CHILDREN UNDER 2 YEARS OF AGE

Abstract

Actuality. To date, there are few publications focused on pneumovesicoscopic ureteral reimplantation in young children. The article is devoted to surgical interventions in this age group. Material and methods. Surgical interventions on small volume bladder have significant technical difficulties. The authors assessed potentials for performing pneumovesicoscopic ureteral reimplantation by the Cohen technique in 14 children under 2 with various obstructive uropathies. Results. In all children, surgical interventions were performed according to preoperative plans. There were no conversions to an open procedure. As it has been found out, patient’s age and bladder volume were not limiting factors for this type of intervention. Conclusion. The pneumovesicoscopic ureteral reimplantation in young children is a hi-tech procedure which requires a unique equipment and a highly qualified surgical team. To reduce the procedure duration, further experience and more information are needed.
