About this study

Official title: Laparoscopic Versus Mini-incision Open Dismembered Pyeloplasty for Treatment of Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction in Children: a Comparative Randomized Trial.

Uretropelvic junction ( UPJ ) obstruction is a common congenital disorder , but not all cases require surgical intervention. Uretropelvic junction ( UPJ ) obstruction is a common congenital disorder , but not all cases require surgical intervention. On the other hand, in children many authors reported mini incision open pyeloplasty with very small subcostal muscle splitting incision, with negligible postoperative pain and very short hospital stay

Read the detailed description

Uretropelvic junction ( UPJ ) obstruction is a common congenital disorder , but not all cases require surgical intervention. Indications for surgical intervention include impaired split renal function (< 40%), a decrease of split renal function of > 10% in subsequent studies, poor drainage function after the administration of furosemide, increased anteroposterior diameter on US, and grade III and IV dilatation as defined by the Society for Fetal Urology. The open dismembered pyeloplasty was the historical gold standard repair of uretropelvic junction obstruction. Schuessler et al. introduced the first laparoscopic pyeloplasty (LP) 1993 followed by Peters et al, who performed the first pediatric laparoscopic pyeloplasty. Since then, minimally invasive pyeloplasty (MIP) -laparoscopic and robotic assisted- had an increasing interest among urologists and became widely adopted by many centers as a standard surgical intervention in UPJ obstruction; thanks to the decreased postoperative pain, short hospital stay, reduced postoperative recovery time, and comparable success rates. The high cost and long learning curve hindered generalization of MIP in all centers. On the other hand, in children many authors reported mini incision open pyeloplasty with very small subcostal muscle splitting incision, with negligible postoperative pain and very short hospital stay . Tanaka et al. have reported that the benefits of laparoscopic pyeloplasty were evident only in older children . Till now 85% of infants are still treated with open pyeloplasty . According to the EAU guidelines 2023 "There does not seem to be any clear benefit of minimally invasive procedures in a very young child but current data are insufficient to defer a cut-off age " .

Most of the studies that compared open to LP didn't limit cases to mini-incision open pyeloplasty.

To our knowledge there is no prospective randomized study comparing laparoscopic to open pyeloplasty with mini-incision in children to date.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • pyeloplastyProcedure or surgery

    • For laparoscopic pyeloplasty:
    • Anaesthesia: general
    • Position: a 45-degree lateral decubitus position with the concerned side up. Patient is secured to the operating table. Pneumoperitoneum is adopted through a camera port lateral to the umbilicus
    • extra operating ports are created at subcostal and at spinoumbilial line.
    • the UPJ is transperitoneally accessed by incising the white line of Toldt and the ipsilateral colon is reflected and the proximal ureter and the pelvis are identified an mobilized
    • then Anderson- Hynes pyeloplasty is carried out with insertion of nephroureterostomy or pyeloureterostomy tube.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing pyeloplasty in people with Pyeloplasty, run by Ahmed Mahmoud Abdelraouf.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Nov 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Operative time (time frame: baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Nov 2023.
