ABSTRACT
Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) can be treated by various pyeloplasty techniques. We present a hybrid technique incorporating elements of laparoendoscopic single-site surgery and open pyeloplasty through a single umbilical incision. As a result, seven infants with UPJO underwent the hybrid pyeloplasty smoothly. The mean operative time was 131.9 min. At a follow-up of 11.8-50.0 months, all infants showed significant improvement and no symptoms except for one febrile urinary tract infection. The cosmetic results were very satisfactory without obvious visible scars. Therefore, the hybrid pyeloplasty appears to be a simple and effective minimally invasive surgery for treating infant UPJO.
