The initial results robot-assisted pyeloplasty (RAP) performed on 6 patients were compared with those of laparoscopic pyeloplasty (LP) for ureteropelvic junction obstruction performed on 26 patients in a Japanese regional center. The median operating time, estimated blood loss, time to oral intake, time to start walking, and hospital stay were not significantly different between the groups. There was no difference in the rate of complications of Clavien-Dindo≥grade III between the two groups. Although the number of entered patients was small, the results indicated that RAP is feasible with favorable outcome.
