OBJECTIVE: To determine the feasibility of performing laparoscopic vesicoureteroplasty in children. METHODS: Two pediatric patients, a two-year-old boy and a five-year-old girl, underwent laparoscopic vesicoureteroplasty for vesicoureteral reflux. Operating time was two hours fifteen minutes and three hours fifteen minutes, respectively. RESULTS: The reflux was successfully corrected without morbidity, and they required only short hospitalization (23 hours) and exhibited decreased peri- and post-operative pain as well as improved cosmesis. CONCLUSIONS: These cases represent the first implementation of this technique in humans. We stress that this is a preliminary report and suggest that this technique deserves further study.
