• The technique targets SFU Grade IV hydronephrosis caused by ureteropelvic junction obstruction in the infant population.
• Single-site umbilical access offers potential cosmetic advantages while maintaining surgical efficacy for UPJO repair.
• Study evaluates both safety profile and clinical outcomes of this minimally invasive technique in young infants.
• Approach may reduce surgical morbidity compared to traditional multi-port laparoscopy in this vulnerable age group.
