Open Pyeloplasty Revisited in Low-Resource Settings
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Urologic surgery has undergone a sea change in the last few decades. With the advent of laparoscopic surgery and more recently, robotic surgery, the focus is now to achieve best possible outcomes with minimal morbidity. However, many low resource settings in the world may not have the necessary equipment and expertise required for minimally invasive surgery. We aim to show that open procedures, specifically, open pyeloplasty still is a valuable procedure for the urologist practicing in low-resource settings. Keywords: Pyeloplasty, laparoscopic, open, low-resource, rural, community.
