Gloveport-Assisted Retroperitoneal Pyeloplasty (GARP)

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Introduction: Single-port video-assisted techniques, such as one-trocar-assisted pyeloplasty (OTAP) or Round-Traction-Assisted Pyeloplasty (RoTAP), have proven helpful for correcting congenital ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO), especially in infants. Surgical Technique: This manuscript presents a technical variation based on the gloveport system that allows bimanual endocavitary dissection and protects the surgical wound during the procedure without increasing the cost or technical difficulty. Comment: This new technique, called gloveport-assisted retroperitoneal pyeloplasty (GARP), could be a valuable alternative for this pathology.
