Minilaparoendoscopic Single-site Pyeloplasty: The Best Compromise Between Surgeon's Ergonomy and Patient's Cosmesis (IDEAL Phase 2a)

Minilaparoscopy using 3-mm instruments and laparoendoscopic single-site using a single abdominal incision, still present several technical drawbacks which limit their reproducibility in urology. In order to overcome these technical limitations and equally combining the advantages of both these surgical procedures, we ideated a hybrid technique which we defined minilaparoendoscopic single-site. This study aims to demonstrate that minilaparoendoscopic single-site pyeloplasty is a safe and reproducible procedure with excellent cosmetic outcomes and short-term clinical outcomes in the hands of a surgical team with experience in mini-invasive surgery.
