Abstract
This study presents a patient with pyeloureteral segment obstruction caused by aberrant inferior polar vessels using the robotic Hellström – Chapman procedure and reports its short-term results. A 14-year-old girl was admitted to Irkutsk Regional Children’s Clinical Hospital because of obstruction of the pyeloureteral junction caused by external compression by aberrant lower polar vessels. The diagnosis was established by ultrasonography and Doppler sonography and confirmed by contrasted computed tomography. Surgery was performed using the Versius surgical robot manufactured by CMR (UK). Delicate actions were used to mobilize the abnormal vessels and move them to the anterior wall of the pelvis. Then, they were “wrapped” with the anterior wall of the pelvis. Postoperative follow-up included clinical evaluation and renal ultrasound examination 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery. The operative duration was 65 min. During the robot-assisted Hellström – Chapman operation, no intraoperative complications, such as damage to the vessels supplying the kidney and neighboring organs, were noted. The patient did not require internal or external drainage of the upper urinary tract or perinephric space. The anteroposterior diameter of the pelvis decreased from 30 to 8 mm. The resistive index of the blood flow in the renal vessels decreased from 0.74 to 0.58. The Hellström – Chapman robotic procedure is a safe and effective procedure for the correction of vasorenal hydronephrosis. However, this surgery requires patient selection to ensure future treatment success.
